Neil GaimanAmerican Gods is available digitally for $2.99, which is quite cheap. This is the Amazon Kindle link, but normally all the digital services match each other: https://amzn.to/3q8GBmG
Ky 🌈@neilhimself don’t mind if I do.
rusty@neilhimself Very much enjoyed the Audible release a couple of years ago. I don't expect one, but I do wonder at times if something that can be expanded upon would be various gods as they were brought to the US on multiple visits, or as believed in by different cultures. Pretty sure it would need a new story to wrap around it though.
Kenny Spade@rusty @neilhimself wasn’t there a scene where there were a bunch of versions of Jesus? Might have only been in the TV series. Would love to see more of that with like Roman and Greek versions of gods.
@KennySpade @neilhimself
I haven't watched the TV version, so that may be where it is. It's also been a couple of years so I may have mis-remembered it.
I'd also like to see more of the eastern faiths represented, whether they are the various Japanese, Chinese, Indian gods, or those of the smaller Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, and so on.
Considering the depth of research Neil did for what he did write, that may take as long to research as the first book did. Not expecting it. 🙂
@rusty @neilhimself the wiki lists five actors, and mentions Mr. Ibis writing a story about one incarnation in Mexico.
If you haven’t read it, I’d recommend reading his Norse Mythology book. Great retellings of a lot of foundational myths.
arcofjustice@neilhimself I read it from the library!!
Karen Wilson@mbwood @neilhimself me too! Library delivers to the local branch for 70p! And they have all the Gaimans ♥️

nicolecluttrell@neilhimself Literally my favorite book of yours.
maryfranholm@neilhimself One of my favorite books of all time.
Zenia@neilhimself love this book! 💛
Shdwdrgn@neilhimself I'm still sad the show got canceled. It was one of the few I looked forward to.

dennisaurus@neilhimself Had a $3 credit expiring tomorrow on Kindle. Not anymore! 😎
Beatsmith@neilhimself That is super cheap.
ArotriosTwenty odd years ago I barely missed attending your book signing of American Gods in Berkeley due to a drunken roomate and a psychotic lovebird. The next day I stopped by the bookstore and found a copy you had signed left on the shelf, and immediately bought it. It was one of my prized possessions, one I held on to through thick and thin through innumerable misadventures, until a decade later, my young family and I facing eviction in the midst of the Recession, I took it down to a rare book seller and got just enough to cover rent.
The Gods looked kindly on my sacrifice - I got a job that week, and disaster was averted. I just wanted to say thank you for the incredible work and the luck it brought me when I was down and out.
Side note, if you're ever looking for the Gods of the west US, I have a pretty good idea where a couple of them hang out...
Adam Sims@neilhimself started rereading this yesterday. What a journey!

Do sale prices or which store people buy from affect how much goes to you?

Kirk@neilhimself what an amazing book. My sister told me about it and it took me forever to listen to her and read it. I now take her advice right away.
Andrew Thorburn@neilhimself *in English - the German translation is still €10.99, at least on Amazon.
Mysti@neilhimself Two friends of mine got divorced, and the only thing they fought over was a copy of American Gods. And alimony. But mostly American Gods.
@neilhimself one of my favorite novels! I’ve read it at least 8 times over the years.
Nagaram@neilhimself
Man I keep putting off this book. I know it'll be a banger, but that's the problem! I find a book I want to read and i go "If it sucks I'll do one of mr Gaiman's books." And I've been hitting some good stuff recently!

Elizabeth Kane@neilhimself @thegibson I bought it. I happen to be watching Good Omens 2 right now. I admit I’m a fan.
Nerine@neilhimself Alas, not currently available in my region. Bah.
Sarah Peper 🏳️⚧️🇺🇦@neilhimself i went to buy it and then realised I had already bought the ebook 🤣
Winter Trabex@neilhimself I love American Gods, but will never give any money to Amazon for any reason.
@trabex that's why I pointed out that it was probably the same price on all the digital platforms.
Cyborg 2-A ✅You get to the last chapter and it disappears with a popip "please deposit 18.95 to continue this title". Lol jk
