Yes, Neverwhere was very good I think (don't remember it very clearly though). Anansi Boys was OK but not as good as American Gods. He also wrote a book with Terry Pratchett that was very funny:
Good Omens: The Nice And Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
I came back from the library with a rather thick book of Seneca's writings, plus The General of the Dead Army, by Ismail Kadare. Not sure how I'm going to carry both of those around, so maybe I'll keep Seneca for the evenings. Or try to find more of his works in e-book form. But I think I like the paperbook version better, because it has footnotes, which are a big plus when reading an author as old as Seneca.
