I just finished re-reading
American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
It's very rare that I re-read anything.

I'm currently reading a book about parasitic worms.

I liked Anansi Boys
but am generally put off by anything suggesting fantasy. Is Gaiman worth a punt?

Yeah.
I'd recommend American Gods, it's epic and dangerously engaging. I'm not a big fan of fantasy, but I really like his style.

What the hell is "pseuds corner"?
Is this a good thing, or not?

If you haven't yet read "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski,
you have got to do so. It's probably right up your street. It's one of the best books I've ever read. It requires a certain twisted mind.
