Neuromancer read aloud by William Gibson

William Gibson, Neuromancer, read by himself. 4 magnet tapes published in 80 something, now out of print. Lousy bit-rate (24 kbps) but hey... This is the man himself reading. You can read the entire book here: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cyberpunk/neuromancer.shtml

"Neuromancer read aloud by William Gibson".
I am looking for the version where William Gibson reads it quietly to himself. ANy clues as to where I can find it?

Very smart. I'm sorry I don't have the guts to battle your wits. I am only a stupid gringo with very bad english skills. In my primitive language reading [by one self] is distinguished from reading aloud [for others]
As for your question, if the volume bothers you, most players do have a volume control.

I had the distinct feeling he was reading to me personally...

I've listened to another reading, by a professional reader, and although he was clearer and more of a "radio voice", I found his perfect annunciation and slow (and robotically consistent) reading rate pretty exhausting. I vastly prefer Gibson's version.
In this recording, I found Gibson's voice tone and accent quite unpleasant to begin with. But if you also feel this way, stick with it! You soon adapt to his reading style. I actually started to really like it. Since he's reading his own work, his reading is casual and effortless. His reading rate and intensity is dynamic and it's relaxing to listen to.
Unfortunately, I find the mp3s in this torrent skip and jitter in some places, and frequently enough that it is a real bother. Although this is an excellent reading, I wouldn't recommend these mp3s highly.
To see if it's going to bother you or not, try downloading the first tape (1A), and listen from 2:30 to 2:45.

Oh, and thanks for the up, ill88eagle.

I found the skipping and jittering to be too much. A large number of words are cut out, so it's hard to listen to, and I gave up on it. Can't recommend it.

gibson sounds exhausted and mentally challenged at the same time. mad props to the uploader for sharing this, but the recording itself is not so great.

the skipping is minimal and this is long out of print anyways. the style of reading is excellent when you consider he wrote the words. im picturing it better this way then the 1000 times ive read it. the complaints in here are ridicolous, to hell with a skip....if you took the time to seek out and download this, i assume youve already read it, maybe many times. in which case...who cares? great upload, thank you!
