Gaiman.
Apparently he's written a new novel, called Anansi Boys.
Oh, and on a sidenote, here's an interview with Mr. Gaiman, together with Joss Whedon (of Buffy and Firefly fame) --> link
Cheers

I've read the first review, and I must say, it hugely appeals to me.Oh, and on a sidenote, here's an interview with Mr. Gaiman, together with Joss Whedon (of Buffy and Firefly fame) --> link

I've already read both the new book (I felt like I had to before the book signing - it came out on Sept. 20th) and the interview. Both are great.
I discussed Anansi Boys briefly in the I just finished reading thread.

I picked up American Gods on recommendation on another forum, and I really enjoyed it. I don't know how to do the spoiler thing where it blacks out, so I can't say what I really liked about the novel. I am on the waiting list for Neverwhere at the library, so I watched the BBC series while I am waiting. I like British television, because everybody looks normal, not all plastic surgery and perfect. It was a little hard to follow, and the zoom in-and-out shots were freaking me out, but all-in-all it was alright, and it makes me think the book has some positive possibilities. I am also on the waiting list for Anansi Boys.

spoiler tags & Anansi Boys/American Gods
it looks like this: [ spoiler] your text goes here blah blah blah [/ spoiler]
Just remove the spaces... The spoiler tags look just like the quote tags except instead of the word "quote" it's the word "spoiler"
At the signing in Austin, Gaiman said that one misconception on Anansi Boys is that people think it's a sequel to American Gods... but actually, a character in a book he hadn't written but was already thinking of (Anansi Boys) made an appearance in American Gods. Does that make sense? I hope I wrote that right.

So, other than the Sandman series, it really doesn't matter which Gaiman book I read first?
