Trollstormur:
hit a used bookstore. the money you save will allow you to purchase Mona Lisa Overdrive by the same author as well.

Chesire Cat:
Yeah theres like 3 books in the trilogy or something.  All good.

Phrozen:
Trilogy? I was unaware of any sort of continuity between his books.

I read Neuromancer, liked it.

I read Idoru and kinda liked it.

I read Pattern Recognition and thought it was a cool concept.

I started Mona Lisa Overdrive but have yet to actually read it.

One tihng I don't like about Gibson is his fetish for the Japanese "otaku" sub-cultures. He seems to have some knowledge of Japanese culture but nothing terribly real. His spelling of "Idoru" also really fucking bugs me.

thelsdj:
There are 2 trilogies that take place in the same universe:

Neuromancer
Count Zero
Mona Lisa Overdrive

Virtual Light
Idoru
All Tomorrow's Parties

Personally I've only read the first trilogy and Pattern Recognition, but I would recommend all his books to anyone.

A word of warning though, if you've never read Gibson you might have a hard time with the language the first time, he writes in a way that no one else does and it takes about 50 pages to get used to it.

Anyone else hear they are making an anime out of Idoru?

And 'Hi Everyone' this is my first post on these forums :)

LiterSize:
See, the language wasn't a problem for me, it was very noir in the detail to me and I enjoyed it immensely.  Don't forget to look for Johnny Mnemonic, the short story.  I found the text available in full on the net, so go nuts.
