How did your weekend reading go? If you planned on anything specifically, did you read it?

i'm reading 'american gods' by neil gaiman after watching the starz series. i'm enjoying the book,but it varies from the tv series in a lot of details and i didn't want to read a 'different' story, i wanted to read more between the lines and in depth behind what i saw on screen.

i'm also almost done with 'get well soon' by jennifer wright which is a witty but also compassionate and thoughtful history of plagues through the ages and of how societies dealt with those events. it's an excellent book.

That sounds frustrating. I read American Gods years ago and remember feeling pretty lukewarm about it. I wonder if I'd enjoy the series now that I can no longer recall the details!

OTOH, the plague history sounds fascinating. I have a delightful book called The Encyclopedia of Plagues and Pestilences which would make a nice companion volume.
