Thank you!

Hi Janessa and Manish! Sorry I completely forgot to check the thread. Thanks for the reminder.

What do you guys want to read? I'm fine with anything as long as it's not non-fiction. :P
As for me, two books that I'm planning on reading this month are Anansi Boys and Circe. Would you guys like to read either of these books?

Hi, sorry I didn’t get back to you yesterday. I like the idea of going with Anansi Boys.

[Damini]

That's alright.
Anansi Boys it is then. Should we wait for Manish to join us?
I will finish the book I'm currently reading by tomorrow. I can begin Anansi Boys the day after.

Yeah, we can wait. I have some papers I need to finish for finals this week.

[[deleted user]]

say is everyone ready to start reading Anansi Boys ?

[Damini]

Sure! But I won't be able to start right away as I'm reading a couple of books now. I'll start on Monday. When would you like to start?

Monday works for me too:)

[Damini]

Okay then, I'll let you know once I start reading. :)

Hi Janessa,
I'm starting the book today. Will keep updating the progress here. :)

Sounds good.

Hi Janessa,
How are you? How is the reading coming along?

I have finished the first four chapters and so far I am loving the book! Fat Charlie seems like a totally relatable character to me and Gaiman's writing is just brilliant.

(view spoiler)[ What do you think of Charlie's dad who is supposed to be a God? Or Spider? How is it even possible that Charlie had no idea about the existence of his brother for all his life? Or the fact that they were Gods? Do you think their mother knew it or was she totally oblivious too? (hide spoiler)]

I have always loved Neil Gaiman's writing, his storytelling is just amazing. Is this your first Gaiman book or have you read others, and if so which ones have been your favorite?

To answer your question, they may have kept the truth about Charlie's family from him in order to protect him, from what or whom is another question.
