American Gods

I bought a book today, partly because I wanted to cheer myself up, partly because I was going to do some waiting and for some reason, the JPod didn't feel like it was going to suffice.

I bought Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I went to National Bookstore first and saw Neverwhere, which I remember fondly because of how much I enjoyed reading it. I'm not a fan of stories (books, movies and otherwise) that have weak characters, which is what its protagonist, Richard Mayhew, arguably is. He spends most of his time absolutely clueless of what's going on. Yet he's witty and charming enough, so he's not exactly a lost cause. Hopefully, American Gods will also be memorable.
