American Gods

here are a couple of things i wanted to point out about the novel in my intro in class (sorry i didn't make it last week)
- america as a melting pot of Gods as well as people
- the fact that the gods are 'made' by their followers belief in them and that they 'die' when they are completely forgotten (which is kind of a paradox b/c someone has to believe in them for them to come into existence but they have to exist to be believed in)

any thoughts?
