I actually haven't read Cryptonomicon. Please don't eat me.
Instead of lying, I just use my excuse: I'm new to sci-fi (less than a year) and I first had to work my way through some Asimov, Heinlein and Herbert. Oh yes, of course I'll read Cryptonomicon next. *nods vigorously* Funny read, thanks for sharing ![]() |

I actually HAVE read The Cryptonomicon, but none of Stephenson's books are as good as Snow Crash.
Each successive book seems to get less and less enjoyable. At least to me. YMMV. |

I loved it, especially the part about showing them a photo of a kitten because "They all have at least four cats at home."

Oh that was brilliant!
![]() When a salient point comes along, pounce on it. “I see what you’re saying, and that’s exactly why I always wanted to be a cyborg.” Presto, the conversation is yours. Yeah that link is definitely getting forwarded to some bookworm friends. ![]() |
