Re: Top 10 favorite books ever. (in no particular order) jh Send a noteboard - 30/04/2010 11:29:26 AM
Right I should be more specific. I meant numbers and computers nerdy. A dash of WW2 fangirl is to be recommended too.

Hmm. Depends how it is done. I love reading about codes and suchlike. Is it about Bletchley Park?

I am somewhat less of a WW2 fangirl, so that will be interesting. I am not even half-way into Quicksilver, though (someone took it to Norway to read), so it'll be a while before I finish the Baroque Cycle. But I imagine I'll get to Cryptonomicon in the end.


Bletchley park is mentioned/attended. Codes is an important bit, of course. Oh, an ability to see family patterns is quite important, that is what makes it fun. Or something.
