Book discussions

Last week my evening book group discussed a Fiction novel American Gods by Neil Gaiman. You definately have to read it to the end for it all to come together, or it will not make sense. How would you like to find out that all the gods people believe in really exist and then loose power as the number of believers decline? I had read two other Gaiman novels and this one was classic Gaiman. His book Stardust is in theatres now.

Next month I selected a more funny read, Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett. This one introduced me to Discworld. He has a new book out called Making Money. I have three other books to read at the same time, so I will have to put the new Pratchett last.

Mostly we read mysteries and fiction.
