I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Americanah is profound and breathtaking. It's so smart and nuanced. I think everyone should read this book.

My time with this book came to a screeching halt once I started scooping last week. We'll see how it goes. I really do like it so far.
that's no excuse

Gaiman is truly talented. I just finished the Red Rising trilogy by Pierce Brown. Enjoyed it. He has some great characters:

Second that and add The Graveyard Book.

Also:
Film adaptation[edit]

In January 2009, filmmaker Neil Jordan signed on to write and direct a film adaptation to Miramax. In April 2012, Walt Disney Pictures acquired the rights and hired Henry Selick, director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and the film adaptation of Gaiman's novel Coraline, to direct The Graveyard Book.[27] After the studio and Selick parted ways over scheduling and development, it was announced in January 2013 that Ron Howard will direct the film.[28]
Laika would make an awesome version of this.
Graphic novel adaptation[edit]

Artist P. Craig Russell along with Galen Showman, Kevin Nowlan, Jill Thompson, David Lafuente, Stephen Scott, Scott Hampton and Tony Harris has adapted the book into a two-volume graphic novel. The first volume was released on 29 July 2014, followed by the second on 7 October.[29]
If you can find it, this is also very enjoyable. Both combine like transformers or voltron to make something bigger than their parts, it's great.

Read that one first, then Anansi Boys. Also, Neverwhere. I just purchased his Norse Mythology, but only just started reading it.

Maybe once he's feeling better about life, right now a strange and vaguely dystopian universe doesn't feel like the best read for him...
