      I have a distinct feeling that I once got a copy of Neuromancer from some used books sale, without knowing anything about the book, and then gave it away when I couldn’t get into the book after reading couple of pages. I was pretty young then, but I can’t be sure if the book was Neruomancer or some other one.

      How are you liking the book?

        I am liking it. It’s garish and dense in its details, in a way that helps it illustrate the cyberpunk world we’ve all come to picture in our heads. It’s also somewhat horny. Just in the first few dozen pages, I think I found the sex scene that made young me put it down, haha, but I’m powering through this time.

        I’m approaching it like I would a pulpy corner novel, and that seems to be about more its speed. At least for this reader.
