Seems they only bought the rights just to use the * title for the movie, which is a * shame!
I started reading Neuromancer by William Gibson....it's off to a slow start atm. Hopefully I will get more interested.

Re: Reading Recommendations
If you enjoy classic gothic literature, like Dracula, that share themes of isolation, invasion, I'd suggest Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," and Henry James' "Turn of the *."
"Frankenstein" is actually a longer novel, with "Turn of the *" is a novella, but I bet the latter will take longer to read. It's all in the way Henry James writes.
Also, I just finished Terry Goodkind's "The Sword of Truth" series. Pretty pleased, but now I'm on one of the new novels. Very disappointing. I refuse to cross-read with other books, but I'm planning to finish this book, and then move to George R. R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones," and then start Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series. After that, I'll probably move to R.A. Salvatore's "Icewind Dale Trilogy"

Ah yes, Woodbury. Home of the infamous governor.
You're in for some serious WTFs real soon.

Re: Reading Recommendations
Yeah, but the annoying thing is when you finish, you have to wait a month for every new issue. Really takes the pace out of it.
Re: Reading Recommendations
Yeah, really good. At first I had to get used to the writing style, since I'm not really used to basically having several short stories tell a bigger story, but now I'm loving it.
