Onwards, Gaiman.

Anansi Boys isn't my favourite Neil Gaiman book. I don't have anything against it, really, but it's just not my favourite. Personally, I find it slow to get going. The climax and stuff with Tiger is really interesting, but then afterwards, it's very meh.

I'm unhappy with my sales job. No surprise there. I just can't handle walking around in the heat every day, the annoying co-workers and having many doors slammed in my face every day. I'm not going to fluff around with wanting to quit, but not actually doing it this time. I can't get in contact with the office today, so I'll call them tomorrow ( Read more... )
