I bought Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman today. I previously read an excerpt of the novel in the back of American Gods which left me with absolutely no desire to pick up Anansi Boys. I can’t explain it but after reading American Gods the excerpt was off putting. I think my biggest qualm was that it was another book about ‘gods’ or maybe it was the name, Fat Charlie Nancy Xp .

I’m going to chalk it up to a moment of insanity because… well I rather like all of Neil Gaiman’s books (that I’ve read) I can’t fathom a book of his being a bad read. So, I scampered off to acquire the book. Now I’m all ready to read. I’ve got my reading glasses, a bottle (of soda), and a snuggly corner. I’m sure I’ll love it and feel insanely stupid for not picking it up sooner.
