A couple of years ago I dicided to read Quicksilver and ending up finishing that series in a few weeks- I found it really absorbing. Now I just finished Snow Crash and frankly, that had me with the first sentance. The Baroque Cycle changed the way I think (sort of like a Snow Crash? ) Not many books can do that.

I'm reading the baroque cycle again now after having given up after loosing my copy of quicksilver years ago. if you liked the baroque cycle you really should read cryptonomicon as well similar themes and the decedents of many of the characters as well. also Zodiac and Diamond age are really dang good. however the Big U (his first novel) is emmininetly skippable.

So I've heard...well, I'll order the Diamond Age off PBS when I have points again, I have Cryptomicon sitting around waiting for me to read it when I get to it,
