Four books that I like

I've written recently about some books that I don't like. Here are several books that I really like. I just reread Anansi Boys -- it's really amusing and fun. I'm impressed by what Gaiman does with folk tales. I also liked American Gods. Alice likes Pele, the mean goddess, but I like Anansi, the tricky spider, and all the varied gods in American Gods much better.

I hope Stardust will turn out to be a good movie! I have seen one movie by Gaiman, but I didn't like it much.

Thinking about Charlie Nancy, his father, and his brother Spider in Anansi Boys inspired me to go outside and take some spider photos, and write a spider story in the story blog: Spider Stories, September 11, 2007.
