Snow crash is vastly overrated, yes. jh Send a noteboard - 11/10/2015 12:25:43 PM

View original postSnow Crash was one the dumbest books I ever tried to read. Mothing more than juvenile ramblings of an from a mediocre talent displaying a thoughtless disdain for American culture.

But I cannot agree on your conclusion based on one book. Stephenson usually has very interesting ideas, even though he is sort of bad at finishing his stories...

One simple question: do you still read fantasy and/or sci fi? Rebekah - 07/10/2015 06:10:04 PM 1622 Views
Not really. I sort of still buy a few books by inertia, though. Tom - 07/10/2015 08:23:59 PM 890 Views
Yes, but focus is certainly more on sci fi nowadays. jh - 07/10/2015 09:24:18 PM 1024 Views
Do they write any good scfi anymore? random thoughts - 09/10/2015 02:22:22 PM 1104 Views
Depends, really. jh - 10/10/2015 10:56:10 AM 1086 Views

Not really, except rereads. Legolas - 11/10/2015 10:06:34 PM 958 Views
More than before, honestly. I don't have the brainpower for much else at night. *NM* Ghavrel - 20/10/2015 10:59:58 AM 550 Views
