I will be, as soon as my copy arrives. The release date listed by Amazon 
is next Tuesday, August 7.

Nice review, though. Thanks for the link. I must admit I too found 
'Pattern Recognition' more than a little Pynchonesque and have similar 
hopes for 'Spook Country'. I feel that Gibson is one of a very few 
contemporary authors who continues to raise his own bar. His prose, and 
more importantly the depth of his ideas, seems to improve with each new 
work even though he's been at it for almost 25 years now.

Regards,

Brent
