anansi boys 

remember anansi the spider? maybe a lot of people don't and my memoriy for folk lore stories comes from my librarian mother and all the characters she dressed up as for storytelling days at her school. anyways, anansi was a trickster. a god. a spider. in african folklore. so neil gaiman (i think that's his name), who happens to be one of rach's favorite authors, wrote this lovely book about anansi, but relly it's about his sons. if you read it, you will laugh your ass off. i promise. my favorite thing he does is the way he write inner dialogue, he's just really funny. and the book is exciting, and it's full of different dialects, personality types, locations, etc etc, and it's just a fast and quite enjoyable read. i highly reccomend you check it out when seeking some entertaining fiction.
