American Gods, Neil Gaiman's semi-Americana, semi-mythological novel, is now available for free online.

I have a deep fondness for American Gods. It was the first of Neil Gaiman's works that I read, having been introduced to him through his blog, and it led me on to reading, well, pretty much everything he's written. I'm currently working my way through The Sandman, having never before really taken any interest in graphic novels... but I'm digressing.

American Gods is one of those novels that might take a bit of getting into, but is well worth the effort. My Dad, after reading it, said that he thought that there were in fact two novels in there which could have both quite happily have stood on their own, or at least as partners in a series (along with Anansi Boys.

But whether you end up liking it or not (I can think of at least one person to whom I've recommended it that didn't care for it) I think it's well worth giving it a try if you haven't already.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
