Finish line

I may have finished a novel and it may have been before Chinese New Year. O_O

Of course this isn't quite the end of the month, but it's good to have a milestone to look at. Just over two months to write over 52k words, which are in 13 chapters now. Of course what it will look like after editing, I have no idea. But that is AFTER Chinese New Year. I need a break from writing.

Now to do genre research. I'm regretting reading Neuromancer because OMG so white guy, but since it's a ebook I don't really want to throw my phone across the room. I'll take recommendations of any other book that makes people think of the Matrix or Inception, if anyone knows any.

Thanks for the detailed reply! Just to explain I was asking cos I was wondering what books were worth buying if the library didn't have them. Honestly the best thing would be to throw money at every author, but that's also not possible even for ebooks and so I usually try to whittle down the list via reading from the library (plus hey it supports the library!) It's just annoying when even the library doesn't have the books too and then I have to use (something else, like kindly recs from you!) other than reading it myself and deciding if I want to reread =\

But this is a really great list to start with, and hopefully I can find good stuff via "people who read this book also read" or something like =)))
