Finished Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero (awesome) and Devil in the White City by Eric Larson (slow but interesting)

Started Neuromancer by William Gibson and it makes me wonder how hard it would be for someone to follow if they hadn't played Shadowrun or Cyberpunk. Should finish it tonight or tomorrow.

Neuromancer, by William Gibson

I am a huge fan of the dystopian future genre. This book from 1984 is the perfect embodiment of that. Case the main character is a witness to the working of the cruel future he lives in. Completely Incognito corporations running the world from behind the curtains is perfectly portrayed in a way that sends chills down your spine. Also there is the Involvement of AI and, of course, Cyberspace itself.

This would be a strong competitor to Orwell’s “1984”.

Neuromancer, by William Gibson

I finished this a couple of days ago, and I think I really enjoyed it. I say think as it's stayed with me since finishing it, but I'm not entirely sure that I got all of the story. Probably going to have to reread it at some point. What I can say though, is that the cyberpunk setting was really cool.

The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood

I haven't finished this yet, which isn't for a lack of trying. But oh my god! It's chilling. I don't think I'm going to be able to let this one go when I've finished... Not for a long time anyway.

Finished A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess. I love this book. Every time I read it I find something new at which to marvel.

Will continue Gravity's Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon. Sometimes I have no idea what's going on but it's an enjoyable ride so far.

Will finish Adjustment Day, by Chuck Palahniuk. I haven't read a book that has gone off the rails so dramatically before. The first half has promise and introduces an interesting concept. The second half becomes a jumble mess that finds the concept boiled down to a miasmic soup of nonsense. I know the second half of Palahniuk's oeuvre tends to be very love it or hate it (with a seemingly greater amount of hate) but I don't understand how this can be seen as much more than a disastrous failure. I still have a little under a hundred pages to go but nothing short of a miracle can turn this into a coherent story.

Will start Neuromancer, by William Gibson.

Last week I finished:

The trial, by Franz Kafka

Factfulness, by Hans Rosling

Froth on the daydream, by Boris Vian

Today I started:

Neuromancer, by William Gibson

Finished Adjustment Day, by Chuck Palahniuk. I really don't know how to feel about this one. It seems like the scope of the novel is much bigger than the story Palahniuk had planned. What doesn't happen in the book feels more interesting than what does happen. I have a lot of thoughts about it. As highly flawed as it is I wouldn't be opposed to reading a sequel since the end seems like it should have been the beginning.

Began reading Neuromancer, by William Gibson. I'm surprised by this one. I keep hearing that it is confusing and hard to understand. So far that has not been my experience. I'm enjoying it immensely and can't wait to see what happens.

Will begin and finish Picnic at Hanging Rock, by Joan Lindsay.

Will begin One of Us, by Craig DiLouie.

I finished Mort by Terry Pratchett (LOVED!)

A good chunk of the way through Neuromancer by William Gibson

Started: The Neuromancer, by William Gibson

This book is my long desired and far too delayed return to reading outside of school assigned material. I'm extremely excited to see where this book goes.

Finished

Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delaney and

Frankenstein by Mary Shelly,

and started

Neuromancer by William Gibson and

il Nome della Rosa by Umberto Eco. It's uni break so I get to read more 😜

I’ve been on a cyberpunk kick so I just finished Neuromancer, by William Gibson and started Count Zero, by William Gibson.

Finally finished The Stand, by Stephen King

This book feels like it could have been 200-300 pages shorter.

Starting Neuromancer, by William Gibson

Finished Neuromancer, by William Gibson - Never read anything like this. I loved it. A little confusing at times, but I like to have something to think about when reading. Kept me wanting to read on anyway!

Not sure what to start next. Maybe I could list a few here and if any jump out to anyone that I just have to read, let me know!

I'm thinking either; We Need to Talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver, Justice - Michael J. Sandel, or Midnight All Day - Hanif Kureishi.

Just started reading Neuromancer, by William Gibson.

I've been lacking in cyberpunk novels lately so I'll be following up with Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive afterwards but I'm looking for other recommendations.

I started reading Neuromancer, by William Gibson this week, and am about halfway through. I've been on a huge Sci-Fi kick lately, particularly Cyberpunk, so I've got the entire Sprawl trilogy queued up! :)

Finished: Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley

Started: Neuromancer, by William Gibson

Finished Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner, by Paul M. Sammon and Neuromancer, by William Gibson

Started You Only Live Twice, by Ian Fleming

Diving into cyberpunk for the first time by picking up Nueromancer, by William Gibson. It's a little dry to me so far. Taking a bit to adjust to the idea of the matrix, but that may be due to the author's writing style.

Finished Picnic at Hanging Rock, by Joan Lindsay. Absolutely amazing.

Continuing One of Us, by Craig DiLouie. I'm not very far into it but enjoying what I've read so far. Also continuing and planning on finishing Neuromancer, by William Gibson. My speed on this one is not a reflection of its quality. It's really good. I'm simply a bit behind schedule on it. I am surprised by how clear it is. I consistently was told that it is a confusing book but from the beginning this has not been the case for me.

I'll be kicking off my horror readings on the 30th by beginning the annual read of A Night in the Lonesome October, by Roger Zelazny.

​

Neuromancer, by William Gibson

About halfway through, starts kind of slow and ambiguous. I like the world/environment, high tech low life kind of thing, reminds me of Altered Carbon.

Last week I finished My Struggle (Book 1) by by Karl Ove Knausgård which was outstanding. Self restraint and a desire to stretch out his series as long as possible are the only things that kept me from diving right into Book 2.

Now reading Neuromancer by William Gibson. It's a quick one so should be done soon.

Neuromancer, by William Gibson

I finished Neuromancer, by William Gibson and I absolutely loved it. A little convoluted at times, but certainly fantastic in its imagery and worldbuilding. I tend not to re-read books because I have so many on my list, but I will be putting it on my re-read list.

Just starting Dune, by Frank Herbert after years of wanting to read it.
