Did you note Orson Scott Card's Review of American Gods, as well? Uncle Orson Reviews Everything - Summer Reading
In with his summer reading review, this May, after it came out in paperback Neat!
I hadn't. But what a cool review. There's something about a real writer saying I'm a writer that makes me feel like maybe I could amount to something after all, if I just keep going.
Interesting to see him mention Michener's The Source, a novel I've not read since I was about 12, but I remember loving the structure (an archeological dig in Israel, with a story for every object they find). Oddly reminiscent of Alan Moore's remarkable novel/story-sequence Voice of the Fire.
