The latest 'non-audible' book I read is Pattern Recognition by William Gibson (see my previous entry). In the end I was glad I finished this book, I thought the overall story is slow moving, uninteresting, and with characters I didn’t like or cared for. You probably can tell that I’m not a big Gibson fan, I read several of his books (i.e. Idoru, Neuromancer, et.al.), but this one is even worse IMHO. In addition to the story I find his writing stile not very readable, can't he even create a complete sentence? There are paragraph full of half-cooked sentences which makes it even harder to read. Sure, you can claim that the author is trying to create a feeling and mood, but the combination of stile and story is too much to me. I’m glad I’m done with this book – I want to read something entertaining and interesting now, no more Gibson for a LONG time!
