On Count Zero

[beautifulduckweed]

Me during pages 1 through 90 of Count Zero: Man, this is kind of boring. Neuromancer was soooo much better.

Me after page 90 of Count Zero: Holy shit. Goddammit, do I need to go to work? I can skip a shower today, right? Sure I can. And tzatziki sauce with Middle Eastern flat bread is a balanced meal, isn't it? Sure it is.

Yeah, when Gibson is on, he's on. I think you have to be in the right mood, but when you are, holy shit. So much awesome.

Don't you just fucking love it when a book bites down like that and won't let go of you till it's all over?

Also, yay for Count Zero.

I remember when I discovered Gibson and his books two summers ago.

I plowed on through 6 of them in like.. a week. It's about all I did.

The same thing happens to me with Terry Pratchett. If I start reading a book by him, I'm reading until the end. I can't stop.
