Idoru

I finally finished reading “Idoru” last night… I was spending too much of my copious free time recently dicking off on the computer, so I made a conscious effort to read more often.. It was a good book, I thought it was better than friends had made it out to be, but it wasn’t Gibson’s best. I’m looking forward to reading the final book in this trilogy, “All Tomorrow’s Parties”, as friends have spoken very highly of it.

Speaking of William Gibson, when I saw him read from “Pattern Recognition” in Harvard Square he mentioned when he began writing his next book he’d have to give up on the weblog as he found the two forms of writing mutually exclusive… He posted to it a few times in March, however, which makes me wonder if he has finished that book… I wouldn’t be upset if he continued the story of “Pattern Recognition”, as I found that to be his most engaging book in a long, long time.
