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.

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.
