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.
