Do you speed up -- or at least allot more time for -- your reading when you approach the end of a book? I do. In the latest case, I polished off a little less than a fifth of the book in one evening, because it had been more than two months already.
The book was William Gibson's Neuromancer, which I had chosen partly to help me with my NaNoWriMo story, tho I read only a little of it late in November. I doubt that an earlier start would've helped anyway, because the writing style is often terse in its informality.
( Review )
Ultimately, the book is one of those things that I consider so far out there that I'm hard-pressed to label it good or bad. Now I could go for something which, while written with adults in mind, doesn't require a rereading of sentences or keep me wondering who to root for. The Great Divorce might do the trick.
