HBO set to do American Gods
This could be all kinds of awesome. Not quite as exciting as the original Game of Thrones announcement in '09, but not that far behind. I'm a big fan of Gaiman's work.

American Gods was great. I can see this being more of a layup for HBO than AGoT.

Honestly, I stopped reading American Gods after about 200 pages. It just couldn't hold me. Maybe it was the timing... I don't know. But I want to like it. And I plan on revisiting the novel someday in the near future.
Having said that, the idea of an HBO series is pretty exciting. I'd LOVE to see this happen. |

Few days old news (well, HBO dropping it is even older than that) but starz has picked it up, tabbing Bryan Fuller as showrunner.
This might be enough to get me to try starz. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/liv...rd-neil-716142 |

I wrapped up this book about a week ago. Meh... MEEEHHHHH.
I wanted to love it given the reviews and my affinity for mythology. It was just not entertaining. Shadow was ****ing boring. What was the point of Laura being brought back to life? She's like hanging out and trying to work overnight at 7/11s and shit lol so bad. And the point of the plot in the small town? My only enjoyment from this book came from the Coming to America interludes and trying to guess which gods were being described. |

Shadow is boring because he's a reader avatar. As for the series, I liked it a lot even though it's definitely a little "out there" for a lot of people.

Orlando Jones... Gillian Anderson (though she's not coming back)... Crispin Glover... Pablo ****ing Schreiber. Producers did a great job netting a great ensemble.
