Just finished. It was good. Some what confusing with the theology stuff. Although it did feel a little slap stick at times. I didn't expect that. On to THE DIAMOND AGE.

It's like listening to verbal gold.

OMG. Just read chapter 01 of snow crash. This is going to be awesome.

Not completely into the premise yet, but I'm still keeping an open mind.

Snow Crash is the paradigmatic Stephenson novel. Grabs you quickly, thrusts you head long into world that's so preposterous that he can't possibly be making it up, and the drags you along kicking and... more

Snow Crash is the paradigmatic Stephenson novel. Grabs you quickly, thrusts you head long into world that's so preposterous that he can't possibly be making it up, and the drags you along kicking and screaming until you're left startled and somewhat confused at a precipitous ending.

Chapter 56 and this is really getting interesting!

So I think we're up to a "so-so" with this after 17 chapters or so.

7 chapters in and this is improving beyond the level of Cyberpunk 101 term paper.

gary i am finally starting this! william gibson recommends it so it should be decent!

Haven't enjoyed a book so much in a long time.

Rereading this book. The author was talked about at the Farscape convention last month.
I do love a bit of cyberpunk.

This book has hyperboles of its hyperboles. Loving the satire element in here.

Little break while waiting for Wordpress files to transfer... thanks Briana for this AWESOME book!

Just finished! I loved this book--you just need a healthy dose of suspension-of-disbelief, and open minded-ness. It's like reading about an alternate universe. Also, made my brain hurt and about 3/4ths of the way through the religion/brain hacking is a bit of hard reading...worth it though. The ending was interesting, if a bit disappointing. :P

Great book... cyberpunk action movie... paper delivered...

Stephenson's writing is so engrossing it makes it hard to put it down.

Stephenson's books represent everything that is good about fiction. Smart and entertaining.

I promise I'll finish this time.

Winding up for the new book.

It's boring again. 6 chapters of Hiro talking exposition to a computer program about ancient religion and language. Interesting if true, I guess, but it's going nowhere fast.

This is aggressively bad. I love cyberpunk in theory, but I've found out that most, if not all, of it is absolute garbage. :(

I just finished it. Great book. I recommend it.

Just finished in time to go to work.

Great book that I happened upon by accident.

reccomended by my Stallie...

Re-reading. Scary how close we're coming to stephenson's vision.

There's only four things we do better than anyone else: music, movies, microcode, and high speed pizza delivery.
