Amercian Gods by Neil Gaiman This was my first Neil Gaiman book and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. Very original and kept me interest throughout. I may have to check out more from this guy, I see there is a sequel of sorts called Anasi Boys, any comments on that one?

I can't speak for newer Gaiman, but Neverwhere (about a man who learns there's a lot more to London than you think) and Stardust (where a boy from a village gets entangled in magical doings) both have similar themes to each other at their core, but are both excellent books!
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.

Just started reading Native Guard: Poems by Natasha Tretheweh. It's very enjoyable, even though the thread that links most of the poems is death and loss. It was kennyc, I believe, who recommended it.

Have you read The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius? It really stands the test of time well!

No, I haven't. I'll try to remember that after I'm done with Seneca.

So, would you be interested in a philosophy thread?

Yes, it's a WONDERFUL book of poetry!

I subsequently picked up her other two books as well but have not started them yet.

I think a philosophy thread would be an excellent idea! Are you planning to start one? If you do, please PM me with the link or leave a Visitor's Message, as I'd hate to miss it!

Thanks for the recommendation, Kenny. Her poetry is wonderful and so very readable!

I'll be sure to drop by the philosophy thread as well!

I just started reading "Magician" (Raymond E. Feist), it's a real page-turner.
