It's the Artifact Edition. It doesn't have the whole series but reproduces select original, black and white artwork from scans. True nerd ****. There isn't an actual omnibus unfortunately.

I'm reading a suitable boy by vikram seth. It's like an indian war and peace in terms of scope. It has a lot of warmth and humour, and insight in and compassion for its characters, I really recommend it!

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.

Johnny Mnemonic was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to reading the short story because I've heard it's completely different.

I read a bunch of "Missouri Conservationist" magazines with my son over the weekend. I think that the pics of the different turtles were his favorite.The weekend before that, we read children's books so that he could earn a free pizza at Pizza Hut.
