Yeah, it was the 10th anniversary edition, wherein Gaiman re-released it with some or all of the content he did not leave in the first time at the behest of his publisher. I can't tell you what changed since I never read the original version.

Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/American-Gods-Tenth-Anniversary-Edition-ebook/dp/B004YW4L5K

It was released in 2011.

American Gods is 3 bucks right now.

And the first Outlander is 4 if you like some time travel.

Hot take: I don't think Bradly Cooper sounded that great at the Oscars. Normally I wouldn't even subject myself to that dreck, but I was visiting family and it was what they wanted to watch.

In other news, American Gods was only $2.99 in the Kindle Store this weekend so I nabbed it up.

American Gods

I'm currently reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It's a really very interesting book about somewhat of a rivalry I guess I would call it between New and Old Gods

Check out American Gods by Neil Gaiman:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YW4L5K/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

It is also a mini series on Starz.

You are trying to figure out who Mr. Wednesday is, and other people you meet that are actual Gods.

They are all well written.

The Old Gods are threatened by the New Gods. Media, Mr. World, and Tecnology/Internet/Whatever the boy represents.

Mr. Wednesday has a plan for war, he's a bit of a con-man, has two ravens spy for him, set events in motion to meet Shadow Moon once he left prison, etc. Meets with other Old Gods to see if they would join him to fight the New Gods.

Even if he looks like an old man or Columbo with a glass eye, he is more powerful and dangerous than you think he is, and things always seem to fall in place for him. Once he gets a Sword he is a badass with it.

I think there is even a comic on it now:

After loads of reading on the bus to work every day, here follows my reading list for military aviation:

Modern

• Viper Pilot - memoir of an F-16 Wild Weasel pilot who flew in both Iraq Wars
  
• A Nightmare's Prayer - memoir of a Marine Harrier Pilot flying out of Bagram.
  
• Warthog - Story of the A-10C pilots and their many varied missions in Desert Storm
  
• Hornets over Kuwait - Memoir of a Marine F/A-18 pilot during Desert Storm
  
• Strike Eagle - Story of the brand new F-15C Strike Eagle pilots and their time in Desert Storm
  
  

  Vietnam
  

• The Hunter Killers - look at the very first Wild Weasels, their inception, early development, successes, and failures
  
• Low Level Hell - memoir of an OH-6 Air Cav pilot
  
  

  WWII
  

• Unsung Eagles - various snapshots of the less well-known but arguably more impactful pilots and their missions during WWII (pilot who flew channel rescue in a P-47, morale demonstration pilot, etc.)
  
• Stuka Pilot - memoir of the most prolific aviator of Nazi Germany (and an unapologetic Nazi) who killed hundreds of tanks with his cannon-armed Stuka
  
• The First Team - more academic historical look at the first US Naval Aviators in WWII
  
  
  

  Overall/Other
  

• Skunk Works - memoir of Ben Rich, head of Lockeed's top secret internal firm and his time working on the U-2, SR-71, and F-117 including anecdotes from pilots of all 3 and accounts of these remarkable planes' exploits.
  
• Lords of the Sky - ambitious attempt to chronicle the rise and evolution of the "fighter pilot" from WWI to the modern day
  
• Red Eagles: America's Secret MiGs - the story of the long-top secret group of pilots who evaluated and flew captured Soviet aircraft against US pilots to train them against these unknown foes.
  
• Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage - story of the US submarine fleet starting at the outbreak of the Cold War and their exploits
  
  
  
  

  Bonus non-military aviation
  

  I highly second the recommendations of Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, and Diamond Age. I would also recommend:
  
  

• Neuromancer - defined the cyberpunk genre
  
• Ghost in the Wires - memoir of prolific hacker Kevin Mitnick
  
• Starship Troopers - nothing like the movie
  
• The Martian - fantastic read
  
• Heir to the Empire - first of the Star Wars Thrawn Trilogy and the book that arguably sparked the growth of the Extended Universe of Star Wars
  
• Devil in the White City - semi-fictional (mostly non-fiction) account of a serial killer who created an entire palace to capture and kill his prey during the Chicago World's Fair
  
• Good Omens - dark comedy story of a demon and an angel trying to stop the end of the world because they like us too much
  
• American Gods - fantastic story about how the old gods still walk among us
  
• Dune - just read it
  

Amazing!

[American Gods] (http://www.amazon.com/American-Gods-Anniversary-Edition-ebook/dp/B004YW4L5K/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=36V58PM2YWEKL&coliid=I3OQ30F0I7KD34) is a book that I've been wanting to read. It has been recommended to me about a dozen times from different friends and even people at Half Price Books. I love reading and fly through books.

I am currently reading James Patterson's, Alex Cross series. I usually read more romantic comedy/popular fiction, but the crime drama appeals to me since it is written so well. It feels like immersing yourself in an action movie. For me, they are an adventure to read. I'm reading Double Cross currently. I usually get them used at Half Price Books. I also have a few John Green novels on my kindle that I just finished. I really enjoyed Paper Towns. There are a lot of internal struggles that the main characters go through. There is a coming of age theme that almost anyone can relate to.

I do have a first generation kindle and have really been wanting to get my boyfriend a kindle so that we don't have to share anymore. That probably sounds very lame- but it's a fight over it at night before bed since we both enjoy reading- That's part of why I've been buying paperbacks again. Also his birthday is coming up so that's a bonus! Thanks so much for an awesome contest.

This is a very generous contest. Thank you for gifting!

I just finished reading American Gods and really enjoyed it. It's about old Gods being every day people and there's lots of twists and turns.

Here's a good review: Released from prison shortly after the accidental death of his wife, ex-con Shadow finds himself free, but bereft of all the things that gave his previous life meaning. As he bids his farewell to the fragments of that life, an eerie stranger named Mr. Wednesday offers him employment. Wednesday needs someone to act as aid, driver, errand boy, and, in case of Wednesday's death, someone to hold a vigil for him. Shadow consents and finds himself drawn unsuspectingly into a cryptic reality where myth and legend coexist with today's realities.

If you're into fantasy, I really love the Death Gate Cycle Series. I think Death Gate Cycle is fairly underrated as a fantasy series and would like more people to read it. It's funny, heartbreaking, and just has amazing characters that unfold throughout the series. You think you have it all figured out, but then things end up being very grey and you no longer know who to trust and things. The first book is hilarious, second is thrilling, third and fourth books are a little slow but important for character development, and the last three are really fantastic.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman is also fantastic and along the same lines of young adult fantasy. I would actually probably recommend that over Death Gate given the other books you said you like, but both are pretty quick reads and worth checking out.

I might be hired for a new job, I'm selling books on eBay which will let me pay off some backed up tuition that was stalling my plans, I'm working on an application of a college I've had my eye on and I'm trying to learn how to sew.

If I win, this ebook version of American Gods by Neil Gaiman would be great.

I've been told this is a good book
