In the NESFA Reading Group, we have *Carter & Lovecraft* coming up for
September and *Growing Up Weightless* coming up for October.  I was asked
to select three books you all can vote on to pick for either November or
December.

Here are three:  (They all have around 3.8 averages on Goodreads.)
Gibson,William             2003 Pattern Recognition  (356 pages)
Lethem,Jonathan            1994 Gun, with Occasional Music  (262 pages)
Moorcock,Michael           1972 An Alien Heat   (147 pages)

I have not read the Gibson. It is the first in a series, but I don't get
the feeling that it is the first in a "trilogy". It should stand alone. It
looks like it is typical Gibson with Tech, Web activity and Spies.

The other two are on my "reread" list of books I rated highly in the past.
I read the Lethem almost 30 years ago (it is a mixture of Fantasy and Noir
mystery) and the Moorcock almost 50 years ago (it is an odd mix of
Victorian fantasy, multi-universes, and humor). I would like to read them
again.
