I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yes! Loved that book. For that as well as the description of Camden Market, which was right on the money as well.

Also his description of jetlag, which is exactly what I thought about it before I even knew I thought that about it.

I believe I'm becoming over-invested in my computer gear. I just realized I didn't know where my flash drive was, panicked, jumped for my purse, discovered it in the depths of the purse . . . and I kissed it when I found it, with a muttered, "There you are."

Fortunately, I did not stroke it lovingly and whisper "My precious." But it was a near thing.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Pattern Recognition? Bless Gibson - he got it right. IMNSHO.
That's it! Huh. I guess I didn't expect anyone to know it--it was one of the random ones I picked up in a used bookstore, and I loved it.

The other part of it I loved, that I keep coming back to as I make a place for myself in Ireland, is his description of the Isles (though more specifically the UK) as a mirror-world. There's so much truth in that for me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's it! Huh. I guess I didn't expect anyone to know it--it was one of the random ones I picked up in a used bookstore, and I loved it.

It's been bandied about a bit in LG15 speculation. E.g. here.

It was mentioned in the Metafilter comments too, but for some reason I didn't place it at the same book I'd read a few months ago.

It's pretty famous in its genre. (Now I'm trying to recall if I have a copy floating around or not.)

Hey, chica--insent last night.

I saw that! Thank you for your quickitude. I have to wait a week before I can post it though.

I'm at forty-five pages and counting on yours!
