I'll choose the truth I like.
I just started (last week) Neil Gaiman's American Gods. Really enjoying it so far, almost finished.

I just bought the first book of the Dresden Files, Storm Front, haven't gotten a chance to start it.

It's not nearly as grim

How far have you gotten?

Maybe two thirds to three quarters of the way through. Sure there are some parts such as learning he abandoned his wife and child, and then the child died but it's nothing like some of his other novels. I suppose there could be more coming. Don't ruin it for me!

edit: but it does have a ton of humor in it. I also like how McCarthy is in love with the word carom, too.

Yeah you're right, it's not as bad, I guess I just felt it was more real. My favorite line in the book is: "The crimes of the moonlight melonmounter followed him as crimes will."


Just finished American Gods, really enjoyed it.

Started Dresden Files book 1 last night. So far I really like the flow. I'm only a couple chapters in but enjoying it so far.
