I had a book-on-tape of Neuromancer read aloud by the author, which I enjoyed more than reading it myself. He had a way of bringing his story to life that I still remember vividly. I can see that it is a lot more vivid when read aloud than when reading it by yourself - even more so, since IMO only the first book is a blast. The second and third seem a bit far fetched for me and, to be honest, I've been struggling to get the trilogy finished... "Oderint dum metuant...!"

The last two decade's of Miller's writings have been disapointing to me, lacking the quality and humanity of those earlier stories. Recently he has just sunk into political caricature. (not trying to offend those who loke his recent stuff - but it just lacks the intellectual and emotional dynamics of his earlier stuff). Wanted to see if those comics are as good as I remember - and so far, they are! The sequence where Matt finally finds Karen, when she is about to die and just wants that one last junkie fix, is still powerful.

After such an intense read, I need something relaxing, so I'm going with some old favorite Lovecraft stories. Beyond the Black Gate - Yer Old-School Gaming Blog My other car is a Flail Snail.
