The Pynchon and Burroughs influences attack again! I'd suspect Trsytero if I was the apopheniaclly inclined.

Ah, right, so Oshosi (also Osooshi) is the god of hunting in various pantheons. A quick google would have cleared that up. I guess Eric's right; the god could be present figuratively/spiritually or in an icon.

I'm leaning towards the spirit presence.

The Gods as company on a (ad)venture....

Oshosi

Memory like a sieve, me.

just when we were thinking that was it for the extract fetishists:

RELATIVELY NEW CARPET

Looking from 401 7th Avenue (Hotel Penn), I'm pretty sure the top of The New Yorker is right behind the muraled building @ 481 8th Avenue.

If I had to pick one book I would read Idoru. Otherwise I would start with Virtual Light.

Weird. I didn't connect with either of them. I am obviously in the minority with my fondness of the first 3 books; the second being my favorite.

I think my choice was more based on the question presented by the Amazon guy. He had read Neuromancer and Pattern Recognition. So for an overview it would be better to pick a book from the bridge trilogy.
I would probably have to read the sprawl trilogy in english - my first book in english was Idoru - to ask myself what I personally like best.

an oversized Volkswagen like the one Pamela had driven.

um. anyone got pattern recognition handy? what was the name of the girl that helped cayce with all her travelling arrangements? was she not called pamela or am i brain farting?

Double cross.

yeah the name mainwaring was coming to mind. it would seem an obvious connection for pamela mainwaring to be the same character who drove a similar car, with the blue ant logo!

Yes, but I think that Pamela got fired for passing on Cayce's travel plans to Dorotea, no? Maybe she was hired back, or this takes place before PR, or it's just another Pamela.
