1980s.  Somewhere I have a badge that reads "Cthulhu for President.  Why choose the lesser of two evils?"

Wonders about a Lovecraft/SSSS crossover.

Currently reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. So far it's interesting but extremely slow, and I say that as a Wheel of Time fan so I know what slow is!

Is it the standard Stephenson "look!  I have a HUGE book, most of which is expository lumps" book?

I finish read book Bowie by Simon Critchley recently. Book is short, but very, very great! Simon Critchley has a passion for Dawid Bowie and give this love to reader. I listen to music by Bowie not enough, but this tug at heartstrings.

urbicande, I don't read book HUGE, but saw a film. It's beautiful!

Hey, I just saw that on Twitter!  It's actually part of a series of 10 posters:  http://ew.com/tv/american-gods-character-posters/american-gods

I loved "American Gods" and I can hardly wait for it to air.  I even got my book club to read it!  (But few of the members share my enthusiasm for sci-fi and fantasy.  And most of us felt the "new gods" were far underdeveloped.  Maybe that aspect will be fixed in the TV version...)

I enjoy Gaiman's work in general, and 'American Gods' was a delight. So many subtle nods to the mythology. I hadn't known about the posters, or indeed that the book had been adapted for TV, but I'll keep an eye open for both. Though I doubt that either will make it out here.

Not play tested and probably a bit unbalanced. Just like the real crew! ;D

Oh, I love Neil Gaiman, but American gods is not the most favorite book from him. But the series, which will be released and have high hopes because the trailer was great!

And "Norse Mythology" he submitted in January,I think. Really looking forward to when it is transferred. I'm also currently reading his collection of articles and reviews that he wrote more and more in love with him.

The collection is called "The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction"
