WORTH CONSUMING!
I’m loving this, and am about half way through. but I’m listening to it (the unabridged of course) and the guy keeps mispronouncing words and it’s iritating.
It is amazing, though, how Stephenson creates these completely believable worlds.

I liked Snow Crash, but I enjoyed Diamond Age the most. Check this link out, as it’s extremely relevent to Snow crash you might find it interesting -

Great Link!
The more I listen to Snow Crash the more I want to check out Second Life (TWIT helps, too) but my MacBook can’t handle it.
Have you read any of his other works? I’m still loving Snow Crash, but believe Diamond Age will always be my favorite. Interested to check out the rest. Would love a recommendation.

I'm glad you liked it
Second Life looks like it could be cool, but my year 2000 computer doesn’t agree with me. I liked Diamond Age a lot as well as Cryptonomicon. I hated the endings though – they’re just really strange and abrupt. I haven’t read anything else by him specifically because of this; though that recent 3-part thing looks interesting.
