#ClassicLSFBC #ReadAway2024 I want to enjoy every book I read or listen to. But I‘ve listened to more than three hours and I‘m not enjoying it, it‘s not causing me to think about possibilities, the only thing it is doing is annoying me. So I‘m bailing.

This was…interesting, to a point. Probably my favorite parts were the interesting twist on linguistics and Sumerian history/mythology. I‘m a sucker for anything pertaining to ancient Mesopotamia. Probably the only reason I finished. The characters aren‘t likable, they‘re a Mary Sue and Gary Stu. 🙄 I really thought Stephenson was going to do more. The ending was so lackluster and felt very slapped together. Really hoped for more oomph…
Meme from a Reddit post I found after reading Fall; or Dodge in Hell.
Well, I've given Stephenson a try. Again.

This is May's #ClassicLSFBC selection. I have tried for several weeks to get it read. I just couldn't do it. The writing style was not for me. Also, I thought the characters lacked likeability. Bailed at 22%. #HailTheBail
@RamsFan1963 You are spot on with your review of this book.
I'm done. I read this six years ago, and panned it. I tried to reread it with a fresh attitude, but I still think it's an over hyped mediocre piece of cyberpunk, so I'm bailing at 40%

51/150 While Neuromancer is the better known Gibson book, I found this to be the superior read. Short stories that carry a punch, views of a world full of technological wonders, but Gibson prefers to explore the dark underbelly of that shiny future, what people will give up or become to survive. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
51st book finished for #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65
I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude.

This will be an ultra-rare double reread for me. According to Litsy, I read and panned Snow Crash 6 years ago, but I'm reading it again for #ClassicLSFBC. I don't remember much about it except it was chaotic. I originally read Burning Chrome around '88-'89, so it's been long enough for it to feel new again.
