Also, I've read all the Neil Stephenson books, and I have basically high praise for them all. I think he peaked with Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon, but they're all worth reading.

This book is incredibly engaging both with its plot and its "Intellectual" conversations. Its a book I cant wait to finish but will be so bummed when its all said and done.
Just finished Use of Weapons. It was pretty good but I don't quite get the Banks worship I've been seeing lately. It's just space opera...TheDOAD wrote:Next up: Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks.
Last really good book I read was Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. That shit was deep. My first thought when I finished that was "I think I'm gonna have to read that again, holy shit". So far I've read this and The Road and both were impressive.
Next up is The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
