Poll

I voted for To Reign in Hell because I like Brust but haven't gotten around to that one yet. American Gods would also be good, but I've read it before.

The only other thing on the list I've read was The Lightning Thief, but wasn't too crazy about that one - I think it was aimed at a bit younger audience than the YA I typically read.

American Gods again. I really should read that..

For me, Mythago Wood seems to be the most interesting. Enough mix of of fantasy with real world to make it seem plausible but not so much that I'd be irritated or bored with the story.

I've read Lightning Thief, Eon, Alchlymst, and I started American Gods but didn't get far with it.

Eon was the most interesting one of the 3 YAs I've read. It was different from the others and brought a different "myth" views.

time to see what all the fuss is about with american gods.

Please, anything but American Gods. I couldn't make myself finish it no matter how hard I tried.

Mythago Wood is sitting on my nightstand, so that made it easy!

I voted for All the Windwracked Stars, because I *love* the Elizabeth Bear I've so far read.

I've wanted to read, own & haven't gotten around to yet Mythago Wood, To Reign in Hell and The Lightning Thief -- though I think I'm less interested in this one.

I've read and loved and would happily reread American Gods.

'american gods' and 'to reign in hell' are both very good, but i was with Donna on 'percy jackson' - it's pretty crappy.

We've already discussed a few Neil Gaiman books- Preludes and Nocturnes, the Graveyard Book, and Good Omens- in the past few months. I realize a lot of people have read American Gods, and I plan to. But fan or not, we should try and have some variety for our discussions.

I'm with Ami. American Gods is great, but the readings have been very Gaiman heavy in recent days.

Anything but American Gods. I've read it once, and it was boring the first time.

I haven't read much Gaiman, but what I've read read has made me a fan so I voted AG.

I've tried Brust and it left me underwhelmed to say the least.

Robert Holdstock would have been my other choice. I've never read him before but Mythago Woods has been on my 'to-read' list for awhile.

I'm voting Eon. The Asian flavor is something different. And I like dragons. Plus, the transvestites, eunuchs, and cross dressers would give us plenty to talk about.

I think that reading American Gods will make Neil Gaiman our most covered author here in the group....

...I just double checked and it will actually tie him with Ursula LeGuin. This could be a month of our most loved authors on here...

...I was wrong again. Gaiman will be at 5, I missed Good Omens, putting him ahead of LeGuin who's at 4.

Cool, I love both those authors! And in that order too.

Since American Gods was so clearly winning I already started reading it.

Have already read American Gods but would enjoy discussing it.

I took a long time to get thru it- was rather slow, got more interesting in the end tho kinda confusing.
I think it's more of an "idea" book than a "well-thought out plot" book.

I can see I need to get busy since the only one on this list I've read is the Alchemyst.

Don't feel bad- I haven't heard of half of them either.

Eon: Dragoneye Reborn is actually a REALLY good book

I enjoyed it also, and I'm waiting for the rest of the story- supposed to be out in 2011.

That's so long from now!

It is a wonderful novel! The mythology is expertly integrated in the plot, dialogue sounds realistic, and your imagination simply soars freely and avidly throughout the novel.
After reading this novel, I simply had to go ahead and read all of the Neil Gaiman's novels slightly related to the characters in American Gods.

Oh, I missed the poll..If I knew I would have given my vote to Mythago wood. An wonderful novel.
