#61 Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

I had held off reading this just because I was waiting for a time when I would need a good read. Well a long airplane trip usually qualifies for that. This was a much lighter read than American Gods and only really deals with Spider. It is also a coming of age story. Granted it is a coming of age for someone coming into their godlike powers. I enjoyed it and now will have to wait very patiently for the next Gaiman book to come out.

I highly recommend Fragile Things, his latest short story collection, if you haven't already read it.

I have been reading bits and pieces of Fragile Things. I'm not a big short story collection reader. I take my time reading them. But I have read Smoke and Mirrors years ago.
