Anansi Boys

This is the fourth book I read by Neil Gaiman and for me was IMO the best of his solo performances (one of the books being Good Omen, together with Terry Pratchett). The book nicely mingles a contemporary world with old stories, believes and myths. It's very well and light-heartedly written. I enjoy how self-conscious the characters are about themselves and their actions, though they tend to make similar mistakes repeatedly. Homo sum et nihil humanum ... as they say. An enjoyable read and highly recommended if you look for something lighter but also witty and not without a meaning. A story of stories which joins threads as a spider's web ;) (it's not a spoiler)
