Snowflake Challenge, Day 11
Snowflake Challenge, Day 11
Since blathering about books is an option, I think I'll talk about American Gods.
Look, guys. I really just love this book. I love everything about it. Part of the reason might be that it panders to my interest in mythology. I don't really know, except that if I was independently wealthy, I'd buy copies of this book and hand them out at random, I'm not even kidding.
It's about trying to find yourself and still not really knowing who you are when the trip is over. It's about guys who are lonely and down on their luck, and how gods are only as powerful as we make them. It's about things that are thousands of years old trying to adapt to a new way of life. It's about long roadtrips in piece of shit cars and short stops in seedy motels and the greasy food at diners and the gloriously tacky stretches in the middle of America. It's about belief, and the real power of roadside attractions.
I can't explain it any better than that, except for in pictures. I made this photoset for Day 9, which is basically how I pictured the story as I was reading it.

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favourite interview, a book) and explain why you love it so much.
