Currently reading "Pattern Recognition"..
And, what is too cool to even put into words is that on wednesday evening I had the utter, utter pleasure to go out to dinner with the author, William Gibson.. YES.. William Gibson :) :) :)
He was in London as part of his world wide book tour promoting "Spook Country", and me, my husband a group of online friends were invited to dinner with the man after a signing he did.
He is cool.. very cool.. very funny, very charming, very nice..
Just thought I would share *grins*
Enjoying the book very much too!

I am sooo envious!
I've been reading all the interviews with Gibson in support of the book tour. I think I've had a crush on him since, forever.
I've always had a thing for authors whose books I really enjoy (blushing). The nicest bit about when I used to live close to Manchester was being able to go to so many of the writers' meet and greet's at Waterstones. *Sigh* Now, THAT was a great bookstore. Somehow, Amazon just can't compare.ClearSkies

I've got this book on its way to me via a book swap service I use. Too cool, indeed!

It's been out in paperback for several years now, but as always, William Gibson's writing is still cutting edge.
Thanks again, Nikki, for posting about it.
