25. Sup With The Devil - Barbara Hamilton
26. Neuromancer - William Gibson (reread)
Every time I do a five mile stretch on the elliptical, it's because I want to one day have flanks like a war-plane's fuselage.
27 & 28. More Magic Tree House
29. Count Zero - William Gibson
Neuromancer has been one of my favorite books for fifteen years, but somehow I never read the rest of the Sprawl books. Oops. CZ is not as all-out awesome as Neuromancer, and I had some structural issues with it, but it's still a fun book. And if someone had bothered to tell me that it had loa AI, I would have read it fifteen years ago too.
30. Generation Loss - Elizabeth Hand
And speaking of people not telling me things, why did I not know how amazing this book is? I probably should have guessed sooner, considering how much I adore Saffron and Brimstone, but still. This book is amazing. Beautiful and brutal, like everything I love about Kiernan's work--uncannily so at times, but different. It's also creepy as fuck, and I read it all in the dark waiting for Agent J to fall asleep.
