I am wondering what you all think, I am interested in reading Neuromancer, Altered Carbon, and Ancillary Justice. Though I am undecided on which one I should read first. Suggestions?

Ancillary Justice since they've just done an interview on the author and she just won the Nebula Award a week or two back.
I would go for Ancillary Justice as well.
@Keidy I heard the audio this weekend with AJ author. It wasnt on my radar until i heard the interview.
@Jared: Well there you go then. ^_^ d (That's a thumbs up if you're not familiar with that emote. ^_^; )
@keidy I have see that one. I am reading a book by David Eddings and should be finished with it this week. I am probably going to down load AJ when I get off of work. That will probably be next... or Game of Thrones...

Suggestions?"Of the three Neuromancer is last. Ancillary Justice I give 5 stars - but it's not for everyone. Altered Carbon I also give 5 stars but I also think it appeals to a wider audience - so based on my own internal probability tree that is totally subjective to me - I think you are most likely to enjoy Altered Carbon.
I have read all three. My suggested order:1. Ancillary Justice
2. Altered Carbon
3. Neuromancer (I'd recommend skipping this one altogether.)
Firmly decide on one. If when you settle down to read it, you find yourself disappointed, that's not the one you want to read. For the remaining two, pick heads and tails and flip a coin. If you're disappointed with the result, then the remaining book will be the one you want to read most.
