I'm plowing through Mona Lisa Overdrive now. Who said they gave up on Neuromancer?


I'll give you 50-50 on "fun to read" and "has to be here because it's important."

And, remember, one man's Faulkner is another man's cathoder.

Faulkner would want to be the cathoder... :lol: :lol:

Brilliant novel about the awkwardness of adolescence / growing up in an Irish Catholic boarding school...with some ridiculous sideplots ranging from string/m-theory to drugs/eating disorders and pedophilia.

Somewhat gloomy but equally hilarious...really enjoyed this one and I'm trying to get every teacher I know to read it.

Next up:

Just started this one-

It's rough going at the start, I guess I got too comfortable with the Bas-Lag universe (Embassytown is a completely new world).
Still, Mieville has yet to let me down (even Kraken which was brutal to get through, I grew to love).
There are some that call me...morningstaru?

Confessions of an economic hitman, by John Perkins
This book really makes you cynical about the world.
I mean fuck, I knew the corporate world was corrupt and all but shit.
It's a quick read, check if its available for loan on kindle and I'll loan it to whoever wants.

Side note: we should start a kindle book sharing thing on ilf,
