Pattern Recognition

Pattern Recognition by William Gibson.

I don't read much fiction and I'm not a big William Gibson fan, so it sounds a bit odd that this is the 3rd book of his that I've read.

That book is fine. The ending isn't the greatest, but the writing is strong and the story leading up to the ending is interesting.

At one point, the lead character says that much of her careeer was built on asking the next obvious question-- just asking it. That's something I could do more of. All to often people will tell me a story. If I retell that story to someone else, they will as questions, there were obvious, but that I never bothered asking.
