Try his books in reverse order :-) (Score:1)

I may be biased (I like the early Gibson just as much as his more recent work) but maybe you should try reading his books in reverse order of publication :-)

To my eyes there has been a pretty linear progression in style from Neuromancer to Pattern Recognition, so you may also like his later books like "All Tomorrow's Parties".

  I'll add him to my list. It may take me a while to get to his books. I don't get much time to read these days, so familiar enjoyable authors and new authors get a higher priority than familiar authors with a 50% chance of disappointing me.
  If what you say about a linear progression in his style is true, maybe I'll only read what he writes in the future. :)
