Well since I started this, I have wrapped up the first 4 Discworld novels, so it's time for a bit of a break, so instead I'm going to re-read one of my all time favorite modern fiction novels, American Gods, by Neil Gaiman.
American Gods is the tale of what became of all the old gods that immigrants brought to the US with them. At the core of the storyis the belief that the old gods would be wherever they had worshippers, and what happens to them when their worshippers are no more.
American Gods is a fascinating fairy tale mixing ancient stories and legends with a modern twist and an intricate and well crafted story. This is a very highly recommended book, and I can't encourage you enough to read it.
