There's a rumour about American Gods having a part II for the sake of the HBO series. Please God, no. The book is long enough (and the characters are enought lol). Well, it's just a rumour!

Wish they produce Good Omens first before American Gods.

Tricia,

He still has to write it, but it's confirmed:

I agree. I liked the book but not enough for me to read a sequel. I will not call on God though. He is too busy on more important matters.(^o^)

@Charles: I saw that tweet when the AG was optioned by HBO but never thought it's serious!

Alone in the Crowd, Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza

This book is a testament that Latin American writers are some of the best in the world. It's moody, almost existential, and just wonderful. The Espinosa series are wonderful - I've just read two of them, and immediately got hooked! Chief Espinosa of the 12th Precinct likes his girls beautiful. That he is a bookworm also adds to his charm.

Garcia-Roza makes Rio sound like a seductive woman - and I believe I've just been seduced.

This book is a testament that Latin American writers are some of the best in the world.

I agree. Among my favorite authors that I remember (if my memory serves me right) to be Latin Americans are: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, J. M. Machado de Assis, Javier Cercas, Enrique Vila-Matas, Tomas Eloy Martinez, Antonio Tabucchi, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jorge Luis Borges, Juan Rulfo and Isabel Allende.

For me, #1 is GGM because I've read and liked 4 of his more popular works. In fact, he is one of my favorite novelists.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez for the win!! :) He's one of my favourites too!

Have you read his book
Memories of My Melancholy Whores?

If not yet, would you want to be my book buddy? It's a thin book.

I haven't read it yet! Let's goooo!

[K.D.]

Wonderful. So, when will you get yourself a copy of this book? Can we start on Monday, July 30th?

If your answer is yes, please open a thread (follow the format of the existing threads) and tell us the reading plan. I will certainly comply.

Remember to invite others, too. The more the merrier.

[Micah]

I can get a copy soon - before the week ends. July 30 sounds great!

Thanks - I'll get to the reading plan as soon as I have the book, and of course, everybody is welcome!

[Bennard]

Micah and KD, I am excited for the both of you.:P

[K.D.]

Bennard, thanks from me and Micah.

[Micah]

Thank you, Bennard and KD! :) I am excited as well! Haha!

[K.D.]

Micah, since we will start on the 30th, why not join us in reading The History of Love. Bennard and I will read that book together with 2-3 others starting on Monday, the 23rd . I heard that the book is very good and caters to both sexes.

Hi K.D.,

I wasn't able to find a copy of The History of Love, so I'll pass on the buddy read for this.

However, I now have a copy of G.G.M's Memories of my Melancholy Whores. I'll post the reading plan tomorrow. :)

Thanks! Enjoy the rest of the weekend, guys. :)

Holden sounded like a kid version of Dostoyevsky's Underground Man. The narrative voice was really excellent. It's just that good that it automatically became one of my favorite books.
