I have to read his books twice. The first time I just plow through, confused the entire time. The second pass is where I can enjoy it, but there are still a lot of times where I read a sentence and struggle with parsing it.

Gibson's works definitely demand multiple reads, IMO. I have read Neuromancer around 5 times now, and I'd say I "get it" a little bit more each time I read it. Even now, 30+ years after I read it the first time, it still fascinates on a re-read.
