Neuromancer - William Gibson (Audio Book)

Case?s chrome skeleton and transucent flesh tripping on Betaphenethylamine. An AI controlled microlite glider decapitating a Turing agent on the Freeside archipelago. Molly the street samurai with inset mirror lenses for eyes and extendible razor fingertips. The Dixie flatline, a dead hacker?s consciousness with a spine twisting laugh.

This book defines Cyberpunk for me.

Dune - Frank Herbert (Audio Book)

I quite enjoyed the Dune prequels by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson. Ironically, however, I was left a bit flat by the original "Dune".

It was very clever and obviously laid all the complex, rich groundwork for the Dune universe, but I found the character development a bit shallow and unfortunate inconsistencies in continuity with the prequel books (obviously not a criticism of this book) tended to interrupt my suspension of disbelief.

I have the following 5 books in this series, but I am not sure if I will get back into the Dune universe for a while.
