Re-reading Neuromancer. I always seem to stop at the middle, not read any fiction novels for a long time, and then have to start at the beginning again.

Vladimir Nabokov: strong opinions, it is a compilation of his interviews from 1962-1972 which he edited because he felt he was either misinterpreted or misquoted or “leaving out the the well-meant little touches as well as the gaudiest journalistic inventions”.

“And though it is of the others, of relationships, that I write, the heart of my life has been my being alone.”

I started reading Ulysses this weekend and then realized that it really is that difficult to read. I decided to read it on my birthday (3 weeks from now) since I’ll be on leave from work for 4 days, therefore no distractions, hehehe. I just finished Stephen King’s The Dark Half, then switched to Skeleton Crew. I miss him.
