Rosario Barbuzza _osario_arbuzza — I really liked this, reminded me of "Dead Man" by Jim Jarmusch. Great combination of Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, and Man vs. Himself. A little slow in the beginning but well worth it!

Hayley Reed _inireed — john jay, james madison and alexander hamilton arguing for our constitution as the constituents of new york close in on a ratifying vote. compelling Lawyers and politicians in the 18th century sound pretty similar to their brethern of today, but the examples used in the arguments are intriguing, both from an historical and present day perspective

Elder Macedo eldermacedo — I have been thinking all week about what I thought of another Neil Gaiman book, "American Gods". I know that this book, like Neil Gaiman, is not for everyone. I probably would not have actually read it if it wasn't this months choice for book discussion. It's a "big" book! Neil Gaiman forces me to think. I don't always want to do that. He packs so much into the story that it is like magic. First you see a good story where the characters are interesting and likeable then you find out you didn't really see what happened or what was really going on and you can just let it go or you can try to figure it out. Like....what's going on? What just happened? Who are these people? When someone asks me what this book is about, it has been hard for me to capture the right words. Neil Gaiman creates the idea and then so eloquenly weaves the tale. He describes it the best in the novel. Loki (aka Low-Key Lyesmith) explains to Shadow: "...You got to understand the god thing. It's not magic. Not exactly. It's about focus. It's about being you, but the you that peoople believe in. It's about being the concentrated magnified essence of you. It's about becoming thunder, or the power of the running horse, or wisdom...." "Would you believe that all the gods that people have ever imagined are still with us today? and that there are new gods out there, gods of computers and telephones and whatever, and that they all seem to think there isn't room for them both in the world and that some kind of war is kind of likely." "Gods are great," said Atsula. "But the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hears they shall return..." I'm realy glad I read this tale. Neil Gaiman remains an author that entertains the reader and challenges his readership.
