I actually read a book the other day...

Yes, kids! An actual honest to god book...Not a "graphic novel" or anything with pictures in it.

Actually, I do it more often than I joke about, but I digress.

The book was called American Gods, By Neil Gaiman (who used to write a comic book called Sandman, Go fig) anyhow, It had this idea that Gods walk the earth with us, and they gain their power from the belief of people. Now the thing is, when people from overseas came to America, they brought these gods with them, and as such, America is full of gods from Everywhere...Europe, Egypt, Russia, Etc...Plus We have all of our native gods. To top it off all these old gods are fighting with the new gods of America, which are Technology, Media, Television, Etc.

Interesting read....And if you're not embarrassed to be seen reading a comic book, check out Sandman...Way cool stuff.
