Thanks, Boing Boing. William Gibson has a new novel - Spook Country - so there's my second book for this month. That'll make it a double play.
My current book is Wicked - took me a while to warm up to it but that was because it's not exactly the book I expected. But, as is often the case, my imagination proved to be deficient and Wicked is a wicked good read (a little New Englandism there, Bunky, no extra charge). I'll put a link in the Books Department before to long. But right now, there's a note on my calendar about going to work or something, so I'd better figure out what that means.
I read somewhere that "Spook Country" was supposed to be good. By the way, did I tell you how much I love Jasper Fforde? He's so funny I'm not sure it's legal!
ReplyDeleteI just finished "Tin Drum" by Gunter Grass and while it was quite good and worth the read, it was a little heavy so "First Among Sequels" is a welcome diversion.
I'll have to put "Wicked" on my list. It was also turned into a musical, I think, which I haven't seen but it sounds interesting....
Wee!
Yeah, I'm a big William Gibson fan. "Pattern Recognition" is good too. He coined the word "cyberspace" in his novel, "Neuromancer," which started the whole cyberpunk genre.
