na, I just remember reading an excerpt at some point.

Never heard of it until you posted just enough non-information to make me check it out. It looks Very Interesting, so I will read it. Thank you.

Oh. It's a book. No, I haven't read it. What's it about? its about this guy who gets out of prison and he gets offered a job by a man named wednesday who knows far too much about him than he should. anyways, turns out wednesday is actually the norse god odin, and the rest of the book talks about how all these gods came to america over the years, and they have to fight a battle against the new gods (T.V. internet, etc.) at rock city in chattanooga tennessee(im from there so i was really surprised) anyways, if you decide to read it you can be sure to find a story, and plot stranger than anything you've ever read, or seen before.

I've read it, its absolutely excellent. I guess the title is ironic and clever at the same time, when you examine the real origins of all the gods in the book, but its defintely something you could read more than once, especially if you like mythology.
