Incredibly verbose and difficult to read, but behind it all is a great book.
Maybe thirty years since I read that book. It left quite an impression though. Should dig it out and give it another read.

Currently reading "Water For Elephants" .. just started last night, but I like it so far. Also re-reading "Night", which I read in high school but never really felt it. So second time's a charm.

Bought Trainspotting instead of reading it online, and Cecelia Aherns new book. I read her stuff religiously.

yeah it wasn't one of my favourites by him either.

yeah, I haven't seen the movie since it came out, and I'm guessing I was pretty young, but I usually read a few books at a time, and so far i've came to a halt with my other books. And have been concentrating solely on this. So far so good. It's awesome and I can see it turning into one of my favourites too .

Spectacular comic, unlike anything I've ever seen.

I just finished Neuromancer myself but I think I'm going to go back and reread it because it was pretty confusing at times.
