Snow Crash or Quicksilver Larry Send a noteboard - 28/09/2009 03:02:58 AM
We'll see how long it takes me to get around to reading it though. Cursèd school!


It is a very good book, although it's not my favorite by him.


Which is your favorite? I liked the Baroque Cycle (particularly Quicksilver) better than Cryptonomicon, but I haven't read any of his other stuff.


Depends upon my mood which is better between the two.
