Gaiman reading American Gods

[jrhols]

I love this reading - it is pure poetry - reminds me of Ginsberg's Howl in some weird way.

[Lallar3n]

sounds like crap...

[euphoria021]

I've gotten a huge chuck of my friends to read his stuff, and I always like to start them off with American Gods. Truly one of the greatest books written. Neil Gaiman is a freaking genious. Read this book over and over again. Someone really needs to make this book into a movie.

[mabtheevil]

@euphoria021 Oh well HBO aquired the rights to make American Gods a tv serie :)

[euphoria021]

@mabtheevil Yeah I heard the news last week. I'm still in disbelief but I'm sooo happy. He truly deserves this. I've been all over that news since then and I can't wait to see who they'll choose for some of the characters.

[Zippish]

Absolutely the best passage of the entire book. Gaiman, you truly are a genius.

[WhiteLotus68]

That was the best passage in the whole book. I loved it. :-)

[browneyedDreamer]

His voice always reminds me of Alan Rickman. Not that that's a bad thing or anything. Maybe Alan Rickman's voice always reminds me of Neil Gaiman's voice.

[TheLizardhead]

Which page he's reading?

[PioggiaNelVento]

I wonder why nobody has already made American Gods a movie. I love this book. I love this monologue. I freaking love Neil Gaiman!

[warwithangels]

DELICIOUS........BRILLIANT

[MsSarita08]

Wow, I think I should pick that one up. This guy is so cool!

[theallseeingoracle]

@MsSarita08 He's an amazing writer. He has a children's book called Interworld. It's awesome.

[omifishcakes]

love that girl-sam speech xD

Shes one of Gaimans best female characters I think :)

[JustAPrayer]

Thank you!!!! Sam's speech is the BEST part of the book! Neil Gaiman you RULE!!!!

[PoisonIvyTheVillain]

haha yep!

[TeskoVirgo]

Amen.

[weichiang]

This is Sam's line right? Haha!

[theallseeingoracle]

Sam's Diatribe is so awesome. This is after Shadow is trying to find out if she will belive what has been happing to him. (Espeically after dealing with encouters with nearly forgotten Gods, and being employed by "Mr Wednesdsy")

[scacchino]

By the way, I was there at this reading. Sadly most of the people didn't understand a word. Italians...we don't often learn english :)

The worst is that the interpreter was an idiot and he used to change the meaning of Neil's sentences.

[winterssolace]

how good is the book? i dunno if i should read it

[scacchino]

It simply is one of the best books I ever read

[TheDarkNightReturns]

literally my favorite book, im on my 3rd copy cause i lend it out so much and i've read it 4 times

[friscokid182]

I loved it, but a lot of my friends hated it

You'll have to read it and decide for yourself

[RogueWyldrider]

read it, if you dont like it then you dont, but try it anyway, this, Anansi Boys, and Sandman Changed my life ^^

[donovanfrost]

That girl who's monolouge he's reading is a very cool character!

[Rayvana]

American Gods needs to be made into a movie.

[sailorcuteness]

I just bought this book and so far ts awsome

[HmR91]

I love this book. so brilliant

[personmanguy2]

Argh I can't remember which character says this.

does anybody remember?

[lordofkortoph]

i dont remember exactly but it was the girl that was related to the lady who lived near shadow when he was staying in that apartment in the toown with hinzelman (havnt read it in a while) i think it might be amanda

[personmanguy2]

That's what I thought. I was thinking it might have been in the car on the way to the town when he meets her, but that doesn't sound quite right.

[lordofkortoph]

i think he meets her there too

[dracia]

It's Samantha Black Crow.

I love this part ^^

[wongfq]

You are both right. It was the girl known as Sam whom had tapped on his window when he fell asleep in the car and he later gave her a ride.

Which is the same girl who's related to his neighbour Marguerite Olson.Her name is Samantha Black Crow.

[Rtaceht6]

i was about to say at first i was lost and then i herd the men are really boys on the inside and i was like YES this part is hilarious

[YubiShines]

Sam Black Crow makes some of the best quotes on that book.
