Little has changed since CR#6 as I have had very little time to enjoy Pattern Recognition which I am close to finishing off at last… I am mostly eager to begin devouring a work that I have been needing to read for some time, mostly ever since a tutor referred to me as the Scarlet Pimpernel.

In some respects Pattern Recognition is becoming a firm favourite for me in regards to William Gibson, it just feels very at home in the current social climate.

I’ve recently managed to watch the Earthsea attempt that the Sci-Fi channel made and despite my alarm at the trailer it wasn’t quite as BAD as I thought it would be, I read the Earthsea Quartet at such a young age that I was hazy on enough of the plot to not be irritated by anything I saw before me…

However I know really want to read all four again and I haven’t got my own copy. *sigh*
