If you've got any questions or comments about these books or other books by the same authors/in part of a series, I'd gladly discuss them with you. I bought Animal Farm today, which is more of a novella than a novel, so I should be able to get through it in a couple of days or so, I think. Also, if you want to suggest good novels I'm all ears. I'm always looking for a good book, and my pile of books to read is always growing, as is my wishlist of books to buy. But I've been reading a shitload lately, which is awesome, I've read some really cool books. Last one I finished was Leviathan and it's a WWII alternate history/steampunk novel, the first in a trilogy, with part two, Behemoth due next year (I think?). I'm really loving the prose of Neil Gaiman at the moment though. It's just phrased so well. I must look into more of his stuff once I've finished American Gods. Even though I'm only 30 pages in. Bravo Mr Gaiman, bravo.
