I've been re-reading The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher again. I'm on Fool Moon. Also, tonight I started on Prejudices: First Series by H.L. Mencken.

I forgot to mention that I finished this, and the ending was nuuuuuuts.

I also read through this:

Two novels, one binding. ****ing indescribably bizarre. I'm not even sure I'd call them Cyberpunk. They're just sort of their own thang.

Any other cool retro sci-fi recs would be appreciated.

Coincidentally, I just finished Mona Lisa Overdrive about half an hour ago. Pretty good book.

Love Gibson. It took me way too long to get around to Mona Lisa Overdrive. But finally reading it after basically growing with with Neuromancer, I kinda squee-d when Molly and The Finn showed up.

I just started reading his books last year after meaning to check him out since sometime in the early 90s. I like him. So far I've read Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive, and Virtual Light. I'm about to start Burning Chrome.

Speaking of coincidences, I was actually planning on starting Idoru at work today.

Never read Burning Chrome. I've heard of it, though, especially Johnny Mnemonic.

Virtual Light will be my first and last. I never read anything that tried so hard and failed so badly.
