This week I'm rereading 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson.

This is for another book discussion next week and the 2nd time I've read it in as many years.
What I enjoy most in this book is the world that Gibson builds for it. It's not a world I would want to live in (though we're closing in on that sadly), but his prose is almost poetic about it in a sad lovely way.
I really should (re)read Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive.

I'm also listening to 'Foxglove Summer' by Ben Aaronovitch on audio.

These books also do a great job with world building and I love Grant as our POV character. He just has a great charm and perspective. Too bad he's a cop though. That bit always gives me pause when I think of these books.

@fskornia @bookstodon The reader is also So Good. I know immediately which character is speaking in dialogue, and none of his voices are unpleasant.

@metacat It took me a while to appreciate him in the first books, because his accent sounded very "mushy" to me, but I've grown to really like it, and it is a great timber to listen to.
One of those voices that you can easily say is good for audiobooks.
