Normally I would have joined a bookgroup to read books I might not have read otherwise. In the case of my current bookgroup, the point seems to make me re-read books I've already read. (And no, that isn't a complaint, just an observation). So far there have been three re-reads. Confederacy of Dunces wasn't as good as I remembered it. Solaris was about how I remembered. American Gods was at least as good as I remembered.

The book for this month was indeed Neil Gaiman's American Gods which I loved both times through. The basic setup is that immigrants brought their gods with them to America and then forgot about them and created new gods. Shadow just got out of jail and is working for Wednesday, one of the old gods. Youll have to read it to find out the rest.
