James Baldwin’s early novels and short stories: sublime

William Gibson, Neuromancer: finally went back and read this. It’s so culturally entrenched now, it’s hard to remember that it wasn’t always. Great example of a cautionary tale turned into a corporate roadmap.

Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five: first Vonnegut I’ve ever read, definitely more in 2024

Rick Ruben, The Creative Act: A successful guy trying to sound wise for hundreds of pages. It was ok, but ultimately boring.
