    Eldorado is fantastic.

    Ok, so, finished American Gods. Loved it. Morbid little detail I just loved?

    Spoiler:
    At the end when you find out Hinzelmann has been killing kids every year... and then I remembered in the beginning when he asks Shadow to buy the raffle tickets for the klunker on the lake, and it's for a charity, and Shadow says something like "it's a thank you for saving my life" and Hinzelmann goes (in a suddenly serious tone) "No, its for the children".

    ...

    :shock:

    I loved it. Such a tiny detail with such perfect darkness. I freaked when I remembered he said that. Wow. I just can't get over it.

    I finished American Gods too..

    I liked it, I must say the Gaiman is one of the few authors to actually surprise me with a plot twist.. or just do something i wasn't expecting rather.

    Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.

    went to the bookstore today and couldn't resist the stephen king section (yeah, i know - like there was actually going to be anything there i don't already have ). but i grabbed a copy of the long walk and sat with it with my pretzel and iced tea.

    oh my god. i had totally forgotten about the impact of this story. i sat there and cried through the ending. i had forgotten so much of the, fuck, the impact. i had forgotten. . . .

    damn. i had just forgotten.

    I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe

    Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft

    those kids start helping each other, against all logic, right? when those two sit down and speak God-knows-what language, perfectly understanding each other, when Garraty says, "kill me"?

    Yeah..I'm pretty excited.

    And William, on the Edgar Allan Poe book. It's very pretty. I have a super old one that is falling apart.

    I have 5 different Edgar Allen Poe books. They all have the same stories in them, but I guess you could call me a collector!

    I believe that everyone collects something. Even if they don't know it.
