William Gibson was the man who single-handedly invented the Cyberpunk genre, and since Shadowrun "borrowed" a lot of his stuff of course his work will seem familiar to us SR-gamers. *grin*

It's too bad Gibson has such a decided dislike of Shadowrun.

Can't blame him.  Just not his cup of tea, is all.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go have a cuppa.

If you are having Timbits I shall be jealous and never forgive you sir!

Made my own tea, actually.  But I might head out and have a steeped tea and a frosted cinnamon roll.

Or the candy cane doughnuts they sometimes have despite it no longer being Christmas (They're that popular here!).

Timbits I usually only get when I have company over.  Which is never enough.

Timbits or company?

 

I too am a worshipper of the 'bit and have gotten my children hooked as well(just TRY and get a chocolate 'bit from my daughter...worse than a rabid wolf!). A good cup of 'joe and and an assorted box of donuts is standard LEO equipment, donchaknow!

But back on topic, I picked up the novelization of Transformers: Dark of the Moon...normally I wouldn't bother, but its written by one of my fav authors, Peter David. That and well, I'm a bot-a-holic and can't wait. DADDY NEEDS HIS ROBOFIX!

[CanRay]

Timbits or company?

Yes.

[Wolfboy]

not really a tea person but this sounds good.

Hey has anyone read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?  I am about to start it and would like to get some opinions on the book.

Tanks!

Just finished "Combat Swimmer", Robert Gormly's autobiography.  It's an interesting book, especially if you've read Chalker, Pfarrer, or Marcinko's autobiographies.

Now, because I hate myself, I'm reading the complete works of Tolstoy.  Next up after that will be the complete works of Jules Verne, and then all of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

Let´s talk about Tim Powers!

I just picked up a copy of his "Last Call" and now I have to write a campaign centred around Tarot-card...
Some years ago I read "The Anubis Gates", equally great. Tim Powers is a truly masterful storyteller, far beyond Neil Gaiman (they do play the same field, but different leagues so to speak).

[Critias]

Powers tells great stories. 

[Malex]

Need a new book for when I wrap up Bug City.

[The Seven]

RPG-wise, I'm reading SR's Corporate Guide. It's fun, detailed, and has one thing I've always wanted: subsidiaries!

Non-RPG-wise, I'm reading Otomo's Akira (currently on vol. 5) for the Nth time. Such a perfect read.

[Rockopolis]

Just picked up the Blue Planet Players Guide and Tekumél.  Wow, copyright 1975 .

[Gibbersan]

Reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by PKD.  The world seems even more bleak than Blade Runner (movie based on the book).
