Still reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire. First book in her October Daye urban fantasy series.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I have a hard time imagining someone calling Neuromancer generic. While the ideas may have been emulated, the dreamlike nature of the writing blurring the lines of reality is something that few other authors have managed to do on that level

    No I am not calling it generic. I'm just saying the book is so iconic and so copied that coming to it for the first time today feels like I've already read books and played video games that are like this. It's not a fault of the work, it's just that it's hard for it to feel fresh today.
