I love how Mr Gaiman increases my vocabulary. I have to tote a dictionary along with most of his books. This novel was a pleasure to read. I found American Gods to be a bit diffused in style written so I must read it again. Stoat is my favorite - it just sounds like its meaning. Fragile Things has so far some intersting words such as wen. I thought a wen might mean a welt but, it is a gross disfiguring skin problem. I have to find a source for words that are possibly foreign or locally used such as Kedgeree and Ichor. I agree with the post that says reading Mr. Gaiman's books is like daydreaming. Thanks.

I know exactly what you mean.
