American Gods' road trip

(1/4) > >>

Nodaisho:
Has anyone ever done the road trip from American Gods, or know of someone who did? When I first read it, it struck me as something that I wanted to do, I can't have been the only one with that reaction. Of course, I would prefer not to have gods attempting to kill me while I am on the trip, that seems like it would just ruin the enjoyment.

Not sure if this is the right section, seems like if this topic goes more than a few posts, it is likely to involve some discussion of the book, so I put it here.

Tom:
I thought about this then wrote it off as a stupid idea because I'm geographically challenged.

CamusCanDo:
I would love to find, or even see a picture, of the big ass Ash tree.

Nodaisho:
Does it actually exist, or was it made up for the sake of the story? I know Gaiman is king at making things he pulls out of his ass sound like real legends for Sandman, could do the same thing for land features.

I need to read the book again, I got it... I forget exactly when, but I think I either got it as a gift from my grandmother, or when I got some books in preparation for a trip, but that was a couple years ago, so I am foggy on some of the details.

I would love to do the roadtrip myself, but I am not sure whether it would be preferable to do it by myself, just take some time away from everything, or to take it with friends that have read the book.

imagist42:
I was pretty sure most of the key locations in the book--the kobold's town, the fates' farm/field/plot/whatever--were at least semi-fictional. I could be wrong, though.

I would so love to see the tourist traps, though. He just makes them sound so magical.
