American Gods

Okay, so I just started reading this today and I'm only in like Chapter 3 or 4 but I already like this book a lot. Was anyone else just really weirded out when that lady swallowed the guy while they were having sex? Completely unexpected. I just thought it was weird that she wanted him to worship her, but who would expect her to swallow him that way. But those are just my thoughts after a few chapters.

Some Questions for Ms. Link

I was just wondering, in "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" is the main character in this place to earn forgiveness from all those he's wronged in his life? Is that his After-Life task?

Also, had he been staying at a similar hotel right before he died, and is that why he is in this specific place? What is the significance of the hotel?

I've really enjoyed Stranger Things Happen!
