Salon.com Books | "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman
just read this review of a book i recently finished reading.
the beginning of the review states: If you have a basic knowledge of mythology (or, for that matter, etymology, or, really, if you just have a good dictionary) and a vague idea of what "American Gods" is about, you can figure out this fellow's real identity pretty easily.
i guess i have none of those three things, because said identity did not even remotely occur to me until i read this review. i have obviously lost my ex-english major's talent for close reading. god, i feel stupid.
ps, don't read the review if you think you might read the book.
