Despite how much I love this book, I realized this was only my second readthrough. I think I might have enjoyed the second read even more than the first, but it doesn't really matter.

After the postscript, the author included a snippet he'd written for, then removed from, the original book. It dealt with an unexplored facet of the story that I'd felt was glaringly absent the first time I'd read American Gods, but now I feel the author was right to remove it. It's not bad, it just doesn't...fit. The story was better without it.

This book is wonderful, and I can't wait for the show. :)
