I am 70 pages into Gibson's "Neuromancer" and will probably stop there. I know it was seminal and revolutionary at the time, but I'm not enjoying it enough to finish.
I don't like any of the characters. I'm also realizing that in Sci-Fi, I dislike when the author throws too much in-world jargon around like I'm supposed to know it already. I used to think it was clever, but now find it annoying.
My nerd cred just lost another 10%, probably.
@jbaty If you’re looking for a good sci-fi, my favourite book of all time is Dan Simmonds' _Hyperion_ and its sequel.
I just read them again the other month for ... I've lost count ... the 10th time? I found it when I was 16.
@johnnydecimal Ugh, why can't I love the books everyone else loves? I tried and failed to get through Hyperion twice. It just didn't click. I think I'm the only one who doesn't love it.
@jbaty Oh! Oh that's so sad. Good job I found out now, just in time to scratch you off the Christmas card list. ;-)
