SnakePlissken posted:Really? My first audiobook was (abridged ver.) Neuromancer, and I thought it was read by Gibson himself. Maybe I was mistaken? It had that one band, you know, Bono and the Edge etc. doing part of the musical backdrop -- and in the 80s, they were pretty "cutting edge" I should mention. The reader sounded like a real stoner, Yeah, Gibson read the abridged version, and that band you're talking about sounds like one called U2, it might be them maybe.

I'm 28. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, so I went with it.

Don't listen to typical goons about Pullman. If you're expecting gee whiz bang giant bear fights and steampunk adventures for the rest of the Northern Lights series, then you're missing the point entirely. The next two books introduce new characters and worlds and play out differently than you might expect. Unlike a lot of YA/fantasy fiction recommended around here, everything does a purpose and is written in a way that doesn't talk down to younger readers or adults. He's blunt with his message, but it's done in a way that so many people take it personally to both ends of the spectrum instead of actually considering the allegory. Anyway. It's Pullman narrating the audiobooks and the cast is fantastic, so yeah.

Sadly, he is not :/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Davis_%28audiobook_narrator%29 OtOH, the only Snow Crash I've gone through was the first few chapters of that audiobook, and it was pretty good/funny.
