I just finished the Ringworld audiobook (great stuff, maybe not 'best,' but I'll pick up the sequels) and started in on Altered Carbon, but I'm not sure if I'll stick with it. Opening with a munitions catalog and a generically described gun-totin' mama putting on black stockings is not the best way to convince me to keep reading, insofar as it comes across as a ham-handed ploy to convince me to keep reading.
