I strongly recommend reading William Gibson's Pattern Recognition.
And Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair. It's pure fantasy for English nerds.

A blog devoted to what I think about what I read, ranging from sci fi, mystery, classics, contemporary fiction, Renaissance literature, and so on. My tastes are eclectic, my research on certain topics extensive. This blog will attempt to synthesize the texts I encounter in my academic work and elsewhere.
