This one's on the cyberpunk required reading list, but I haven't been able to find a copy at Gardners. The list is from the Cyberpunk Handbook by St. Jude, R.U. Sirius and Bart Nagel. Here it is:

Neuromancer by William Gibson (read it), Schismatrix by Bruce Sterling (have it), Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson (read it), True Names by Vernor Vinge (don't have it), Software and Wetware by Rudy Rucker (read them both), Eclipse Trilogy by John Shirley (have them) and Shockwave Rider by John Brunner (have it).

Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge

Congratulations on your first Super Bowl Championship,

New Orleans Saints!

either/or

Option time again. This year's Super Bowl will be between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. Once again, the winner decides which book I'll be reading next. Here's the books: Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge and Night of the Living Rat by Doyle and Macdonald. I've never read Vernor Vinge before and the Saints have never won a Super Bowl. If they do, I'll read Rainbows End. Indy won a Super Bowl a few years ago and if they win this one it will be Manning's 2nd title and I'll read the second book in Daniel Pinkwater's Melvinge of the Megaverse series.
