I don't think his list of three brands was meant to be all-inclusive.

Also- is cloud atlas worth going through? I'm reading black swan green now, I really like it. Just finished two Ishiguro books and I have some Borges, Murakami, and Bolano left, anything else you guys think I should pick up?

Definitely worth reading. My favorite book in a minute (not that I do a ton of reading).

I started, but then didn't. Am now reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Phillip K. Dick has a ton of great ideas but not so many great books. I'm kind of shocked that they haven't turned The Man in the High Castle into a movie yet, though.

Funny, i read about 2/3 of cloud atlas, and then sort of gave up. I think it was the pesudo-hillbilly future speak which got to me.

I actually really liked that part. A bunch of people in my book club couldn't get past it, though.

I thought it was kinda like have a foreign-born TA in college; it take a class or two to understand what the hell they're saying, but at a certain point it clicks an it stops sounding like they even have an accent.

i picked up count zero by william gibson and i find it to be exactly the same as neuromancer
storyline is tweaked, i like that it involves corruption in the art world (so far..)

I fail to see the problem with this.

Currently reading stranger in a strange land. It's super sexist and kind of boring. Gonna tough it out because it's a quote-unquote classic.

Has anyone read Perdido street station?

 

[snowmanxl]

not really a problem since i really enjoyed neuromancer. i just found it weird that the author would rehash the story line. i dont know if its common or not?

 

[GraphicNovelty]

It starts pretty much the same but it goes in a fairly different direction. (though yeah, it's still pretty similar).

Mona lisa overdrive is a lot different than the other two though.

When fiction calls my name, I typically go for the crazy (post)modernist stuff too. But after reading some Wallace Stevens last night, I picked up the Norton Anthology that I had to buy sophomore year and read a bunch of Andrew Marvell, John Milton, Sir Thomas Wyatt the Elder, and Philip Sidney. It's kind of nice to return to the older things every now and then. Especially poetry.

Feature on shah's favorite e-retailer personality.

Wow me and that guy had like the same start in dc fashion.

then i got a gf and got fat and he went to work for robert geller. excuse me while i drown my tears in some high abv flying dog before i drive to my miserable blue collar job in the baltimore suburbs in a 12 year old beige sedan.

gibson makes a lot of fashion/clothing references too.
The cruel Darwinism of fashion ..found that line to be so true

^I think it's in Spook Country, one of the characters stops in front of a Yohji shop, admiring the asymmetrical lapels on a jacket.
