Book 57: American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Good book.  Took me a while to read it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The story of an ex-con named Shadow who gets pulled into a confrontation between the old gods (think Odin and Anansi) and the new gods (the internet or media/tv).  I'm sure if I was better read, I would have gotten more out of it.  There are probably lots of references to odd gods from various cultures that I didn't pick up on.  Czernobog? Thunderbirds?  But the story was fine even without all those things.
