The first time I read American Gods, it wasn't really my thing, either. When I left it for a few years and came back, I liked it a lot more, though. I think it was the superfluous graphic parts that bugged me originally. Second time through I knew they were coming and was able to enjoy the story around them, though. Have you tried Anansi Boys? It's the same world as American Gods, but it's very different. I didn't notice they had Thich Nhat Hanh! He's a pretty cool dude (although the two books by him that I've read were practically identical). I'll have to give that a look-see. Heh, funny.

I'm going to give it another go - great tip. I'm also going to take a look at Thich Nhat Hanh's 'The Art of Power' - I'm a big fan of his teachings.
