See signiture.
Also, I got a damn good philosophy book I been picking up on
Also, I bought a William Gibson book called burning chrome.

I've only read two Douglas Coupland books. Hey Nostradamus, which I liked, and Girlfriend in a Coma, which I did not.

anybody read spooky country by gibson yet?

I picked it up at Barnes and Noble, and without even considering buying it, put it down. lol.

haha why?
always liked gibson a lot

I don't know, which is why I thought it was funny. I said to my friend "the only science fiction I've ever really read was Gibson - Neuromancer and Pattern Recognition." and then I just put it down and left.

I liked Neuromancer, really, but I just didn't even think about buying it.

hahahaha, ok thats really funny

I just started reading The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin. I've seen the original PBS film, and will probably watch it again once I get done reading it.

Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe.

I can't bring myself to buy anything by Gibson that takes place in the present day. Not sure why.

It's Spook Country not spooky. I read it. It was awesome. I think I liked it better overall than Pattern Recognition, which is saying a lot.

You are missing out (not that I bought either of them, I read them from the library, but I usually don't buy books). His last two novels are awesome, and they are both actually essentially cyberpunk too, despite the recent past rather than near-future setting.

I wish I had an edition that was as cool as this.

just started it yesterday

I think the book is just okay; Burroughs' prose style is really plain in Junky. But I love the new cover. Wow, I'd buy a new copy just for that.

Junky's the only Burroughs book I don't own.. I should change that.

Anyone ever read Burroughs's son's book? I need to check that out,

I think that's why it's my favourite book of his (plain-ness)! I've only scanned The Naked Lunch and I gather it's not my thing.

I'm having to read Mrs Dalloway (Virginia Woolf) for my English course. I quite like it... though because the characters' emotions are evoked impressionistically rather than stated directly, it can be a trial if you're not in a responsive mood, tired, etc. Then it just seems like random words on a page.

The cover was what sold me on it (since my library has 2 copies). His prose is great in it though, a lot more beneath the straightforward form than meets the eye.

my favorite burroughs is this:
