"Zero History" is done and finished, I liked it very much. To rejoin some characters and to see some from a completely previous story returning changed grown and stating as really fully existing in their worlds.  which do feel similar to ours. Ordinary lives but shot as with the camera I own that has various settings such as PopArt or Dramatic, William Gibson writes easily with these settings and it feels normal. I think i don't want to live might take a holiday. Dyslexia is a blast I like mine enjoy yours.

Now I shall read and finish "The Philosophical Breakfast Club" live a life you like this day

So I have calmed down now, I do hope you read Peter V Brett "The Day Light War" So now I wait for  the next book, and without ruining the ending of the book A dictionary is not an ending to a book!!!! Come on learn how to finish a story, don't remember who said it but it goes like this "leave them wanting more" I am so close to not wanting more and I liked this, very much I liked these three books. Dyslexia is a grand thing, I enjoy mine hope you enjoy yours. Now back to Zero History  have a good day

I like when my sleeping dreams collide with my awake life. Last nights will a part of what I am currently writing. Children, zombies building a better world a better life beyond survival. Still that will come one out time.

I am back into William Gibson, "Zero History", It is full of characters from "Spook Country" It is quite pleasant to meet some old friends, I do find it nice to see what happens next, looking forward to this one.

I like the way Mr. Gibson draws me into a world so easily. Makes or enables me to care about people so very unlike me, in every way. If I ever meet him I'd thank him so much. I like his use of words I have to look up in dictionary. I like it when I learn new words. Dyslexia is a very grand thing, a good way to see the world. Have a good day, because someone has to. Go read book, sit on the beach, walk outside whatever the weather, join a Chinese new year party, teach someone else how start blog. enjoy this moment

So twelve day in and not brought a book not even online, oh i feel good about myself. I also stopped buying gum as well. So reading about Isaiah the bible book liked that , not settled in my head yet but it will eventually. also spook country goes on like that. Terry Prachet his collected short stories is a delight I think when he writes about what he has written is the best bit and AS Byete introduction is a revelation most enjoyable discover why some people read particular things, put a script into a place the other day and now the wait begins, must put my socks on now a go to a wedding. Dyslexia means that written English is my second language. Being a dyslexic is rather nice.

So I have not bought a book so I am reading them instead, So I am reading William Gibson "Spook Country" and at the same time (not literally at the same time), David Brin "Existence" when I run across the same idea sure they are expressed slightly differently, the idea is this an electronically enhanced, augmented, annotated world. In the William Gibson world it is used to place art into the world that can only experienced with the right "glasses" A limited interaction is possible.

Then in David Brin's world it is the predominate way of living in the world, it seems to be quite disturbing, and oddly a way that is mostly used by the poorer strata of society, at this point it would seem to the easiest way to stop people rising up intellectually or as seen in the middle ages that feudal societal structure. The easiest way to stop the revolutionary give them something to watch that feels like you could participate.

Then the wealthy and these are extremely stupidly frighteningly rich, are the least well rather less obviously augmented, I do find I am liking William Gibson world at the moment over David Brin's but I will work through them both. Still I like my dyslexia what are you doing with yours. Have a great day.

It is the turn of the year 2012 into 2013, and my own personal tradition is to go to bed early, well i did that after sharing a cup of rather pleasant whiskey with my good friend Shaun McGrath, then riding the Springer home, from the clubhouse. As I lay in bed listing to the fire works, I was finishing chapter four of William Gibson's Spook Country. The close of the year with the fading light of the fire while i put the book down, so I can sleep "And felt the luminous instant pass, as it always must." I likes William Gibson, nearly as much as being a dyslexic. Have a happy new year.

So bought some more books, The Oopsatoreum by Shaun Tan, anything by him is utterly brilliant. I pick his stuff up anytime I find one I don't have. The Starbucks Experience has arrived as well Like it as well then the one about the shooting of Bin Ladin. The big news for me anyway is Existence I have persevered with it. A I have just run into a great moment in the book, where the geneticist use the language of faith to describe his reason and purpose for his work. I enjoyed the words and image it made in my head.

Also bought William Gibson, Zero History I like it and I read this "She watched him trough the rear window as the taxi pulled away. Stout and bearded, he turned now in Greek Street,......" It is just odd an odd sentence.

Oh the other book is No Easy Day, Mark Owen.

So today got off to a great start, the parcel man delivered today a book with a brilliant title "Steal like an Artist" Austin Kleon. With this book I have not a single hint of disappointment. It has just confirmed that some of my general habits are good for my creativity.

Also yesterday I went shopping with my daughter we bought some books and they were "Amped" by Daniel H. Wilson; "Zero History" William Gibson; and to finish with : "The Red Badge of Courage" by Stephen Crane. Nearly finished :Throne of the Crescent Moon, then onward to new fictional horizons.

Also read the Bible not fiction, and some commentaries on the book/letter of James, all in preparation for Sunday. Dyslexia is what I have and I like it. Have a great day, someone has to!

I have finished William Gibson's "Distrust that Particular Flavour," I do like to read about writers talking about writing, I particularly enjoyed his end comments after each article. The insight as to the development of character and story and the real life right now inspiration of a future. Having recently read his, "Pattern Recognition" I did find myself thing about a single sentence in that book, of which I really like the back half!! What the words do in my I like( if you want to read it all it is page 66 about half way down the page) "...lateral thinking imp of the perverse, thirty something boy genius, seeker after truth (or at least functionality) in the markets of this young century" The reason I read was reading "Pattern Recognition"   is my dad left it behind as it took up to much space in his luggage to take back to England, so he left it behind, I read it, liked it. So next is China Mieville "Embassytown. Also "stick stones mud homes: Natural Living" Nigel Noyes, I find myself wonder what kind of mark, home, house, I wish to leave or have on the world. Mostly what will I do to have for my daughter to have beyond my life. On that happy, thought. enjoy your day. Dyslexia I find is so cool.

If you have books they need some where to live, and thanks to a retweet by Marc Laming I am thinking how do I get these, make these. I maybe ready to move on from the ikea ones I have now. I do like them. I do have some quite wobbly ones I have had from  B&Q for a number years. I thinkI will replace with these ones or similar from Tokyo. This could all be William Gibson's fault and I don't mind!! The shop they are in is so cool, go and find them at www.dezeen.com/2012/07/26/tokyos-tokyo, Go wild enjoy these. remember enjoy you day, oh and dyslexia is cool.

So page 180 William Gibson "Distrust that particular flavour" the chapter: My Own Private Tokyo These four words, "Folded paper. Junkie origami." four words and the art of exchange is shown in clarity that only seen by an outside observer, rather than an involved participant. A pusher and a junkie consumer, four words and a story is told, I have been reading William Gibson's works for a while now. Not one of his stories has translated into a gripping movie. I still watch them and find myself wondering where and how the choice to leave something out, has happened, rolling multiple characters and events into a single person and story arc. When it is on occasions the minor, lesser characters that draw us into the story. I think it might be the place where sometime we may appear. I haven't thought of myself as the hero, never wanted to be Frodo, or Neo, or Conan, or John Carter, or whoever you have thought of being. But I can do my bit to build a story in this world, I will be the friend someone needs at their worst or best moment, this will be at their moment of choosing, so how will you and I be ready? Enjoy your day, Dyslexics are the best find one see the world differently

William Gibson: Real Ideas

So anyway I pick William Gibson "Distrust that particular flavour". China a can wait. So I am reading William and it is just, awesome. I like how he uses words to make a world happen in my head. He is describing a real world with real ideas.  I like that he explains things from other cultures and still keeps the mystery, mostly causing a desire too see it for my self.   " This is the closing sentence of an article he wrote for the in house magazine of Tate's(Whatever, whoever that is). Here it is then: "Just as life, lived silently enough, in sufficient solitude, becomes a different sort of sphere, no less perfect." I just want to read and know more because of his words. Man when I get to China he has something to live up to! I know he will up to it. Enjoy you day.

Just to let you know I have finished Dan Simmons flashback, well worth a read I think. It does suck you into it's world, and people and you do end up caring and hoping. Now on to the next one either "embassytown" or on with "distrust that particular flavor" have started both but wonder which I will finish. Oh and those pieces of paper under the books are the beginnings of some thought for another story. Dyslexics should write stories, don't worry about the spelling punctuation first bring the story to life then it can grow from there.  Enjoy your day.
