The life and times of an Elder God
"we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple
mister corporate events
take a walk through the jungle
of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi
some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says now do you believe in the one big song
he is now accepting callers who would like to sing along"

I AM A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING IDIOT!

Yeah, I'd recommed American Gods too.His older books are worth checking out, but that one's the best.

Sure, I'll have a look.  Yesterday was too miserable to go out in (the book shops are too far away to go in a storm :roll: )

Have fun. The bookstore I went to today (and yesteday, but it was closed then) didn't have either Illuminatus or anything by Peter Carroll. I'll find them eventually and I have too much to read already, but it sets back the chaos a bit. Maybe I'll have to make up for that in some other way.

... and Sandman while you're at it.

In fact, read anything and everything of his you can lay your hands on. I have yet to find anything he thought was worth publishing that wasn't well worth reading.

found both neverwhere and american god to be a tad dull.  okish but not more. sandman is also quite okish but never compares to the likes of moore, morrison and sometimes ellis.
