And now a reading from American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Chapter 1
Shadow had done three years in prison. He was big enough and looked don't-fuck-with-me enough that his biggest problem was killing time...
Anyway, before I get deeper in copyright infringement I wanted to spread the gospel of Gaiman.
Neil Gaiman is an author and freelance writer. Gaiman is best known for his Graphic Novel series Sandman. But, he's also the author of Neverwhere and Stardust, the writer of Death: The High Cost of Living, Author of Coraline and was the writer of the English script for Princess Mononoke. His most recent work is "Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader?" done through DC Comics about the epic character called Batman... as an omage to Alan Moore... and because DC totally fucked Batman in Final Crisis.
Anyway, thing about Gaiman is I have never read anything of his that is below average, it's all fucking awesome. So, my advice is READ HIS WORKS PEOPLE!
