I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman again. His new novel Anasi Boys, a sequel of sorts to this one will be out in September. If you've never read anything by Neil you should give it a try. Neil's one of those writers who seems to be able to write nothing bad. His Sandman comic book series was one of the finest comic series ever. I've actually met and talked with Neil a few times, nothing that he would remember me from, but Sam Kieth, the first artist on the Sandman, and I were friends and I introduced myself to Neil at a San Diego convention. I think I even gave him a copy of Diebold. But Neil was very nice and didn't seem to be in a rush to get rid of all the fans trying to talk to him. This was before he became even bigger, but it was at the start of his upward spirial, Sandman was out and was hot, so was he. Wonder if he ever read Diebold and what he thought of it if he did?
