Hi,

I downloaded and listened to a very nice un-abridged audio book of Neuromancer. After listening for 12 45-minute files, I found out that it is only part of the book. Does anyone know where I can find the rest of the Audio Book?

Shimon

'Ello Guv'nah!

The audiobook I have was on tape. it consisted of 4 tapes that I believe were 45 minutes per side. Someone on here made them available in mp3 and that is the only experience I've had with it. good luck and welcome.

I think ArkanGL posted the version Gibson read himself, which is abridged. But I don't know anything about the unabridged version...

I can't find anything to back up my assertion above, so I struck it out. There was some discussion of the audio book back in the day...

You can try this or this one. And I cannot say more...

In an effort to better keep me faithful to the facts, Phant, where are those figures listed in the PW site?

I got me a trial subscription.

See, me learn!

Using the search function, as Psychophant recommended in his post in that other thread over there (no trial subscription needed), you might have found this article rounding up the sales figures for 2007.

That article addresses only one of the facts brought up in Psychophant's post, but that was just a brief poke around on my part. In addition, you can find the history of a book on the bestseller list just by doing a search on the title. Usually, it will be the first entry in the search results, with numbers for the initial print run and its sales rankings, but no information on actual sales.

Every time I use the search function for a given book it takes to to it's stat page which gives almost no stats.

...

Man, Chuck only sold 146000 copies of Rant? It was on the list for, like, 4 or 5 weeks I think?

Damn.

That article makes me want to hurt people and destroy institutions.

Back when Melville originally published "Typee", it was a certified hit with around 5000 copies sold. Nonetheless, 2 million readers for one of the number 1 bestsellers out of 300 million people in the US (according to the CIA's latest estimate) strikes me as kind of sad.

That one book had 4.9 million. What makes me sad is that nearly all of the top 15 are cookie-cutter formulaic pieces of fermented shit felched out of a dead rat's anus.

Reading is too hard for most people and when they do read they read movies put onto paper. That they came before the movies, well, they don't get that bit.

James Patterson sucks monkey ass. Danielle Steel makes a living writing about mimbos and sluts. Mitch Albom should just be shot.

The trite pedantry of his work makes me want to torture him over some longish period of time.

But, I'm having a bad day. Perhaps he only deserves to be raped by a toaster.

Oh, yes, The Secret is imaginary pablum for morons and crystal gurus while Nicholas Sparks needs to be kicked in the scrotum until thrice dead.

I want to create a concentration camp for disingenuous and otherwise "bad" artists. I will burn the internees alive on piles of their filthy books, films and paintings.
