description: Just a reminder that November's book is "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. His notable works include: The Sandman graphic novel series, Stardust, American Gods, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book. Gaiman's writing has won numerous awards, including the Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker, as well as the 2009 Newbery Medal.
So, pick up the book and come join in on the discussion!

From the September Hunger Games discussion:
Message 26--Tiffany: "How about a Neil Gaiman book? American Gods maybe."
Message 31--Meg: "My vote is When We Were Orphans then American Gods if no one objects."
Neil Gaiman's American Gods it would appear to be. I'm going to try to pick it up today if I can. Should we create it as an "event" and invite all the members of this group, just as a reminder? ]]>
I took it more as a drama than a mystery. To me, it's an orphan's inner search for wholeness expressed by his outer search for answers, and while Uncle Phillip solves "the mystery," still I saw the real issue as Christopher's quest for meaning. ]]>

While this is the first of Lewis's Perelandra Trilogy, you do not need to read the other two in the series if you choose not to. In fact the second work in the trilogy, Perelandra, is widely regarded as the jewel in the series. I would concur. ]]>
