Of books and fics... and layouts too!

[katikat]

First thing first - I have a new layout. Yes, another one XP

I finally finished reading "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. It'll probably never be my favorite book but once I quit trying to make some sense of it, it started to get quite enjoyable. And I loved Shadow, especially his attitude.

It's rather frustrating when you can't say exactly why you like a certain fic. When you can break it down to one particular scene or characterization, it's easy. But with fleshflutter's "The Old Gods Return" or with astolat's "Road to Shambala" it's not possible. I just can't pin it down or make a list, I can't explain the WHY and it makes me totally flustered! When you can't explain why you like something, how can you ask for help with finding similar stuff? Similar to WHAT?! *tears her hair out*

I think I just totally confused you, huh? XP

I adore American Gods myself; it's my favourite of Neil Gaiman's books and one of my favourite novels overall. As for Shadow, he's one of my favourite characters :-)

I think I'll re-read American Gods during the holidays *nods*

Well, for me, American Gods weren't bad but they won't ever be my favorite book. I loved Shadow's life in Lakeside but the book felt too... splintered *sigh* My friend dragged me to the cinema to see Stardust and I didn't like that much either. Maybe it's just that Gaiman is not for me :P
