yes, several times, which is not my norm... temeraire Send a noteboard - 21/10/2009 02:30:04 AM
i absolutely loved it. anathem is a great work, and i could probably read it a fifth time. which, by the way, i wouldn't have done if i didn't have it on my kindle. that book is seriously heavy....

my favorite things are about the concepts of the narrative and the idea of using consciousness as a focal tool to work between them. it's fun to think about

"it's like the real world, except there's dragons!"

cw, you are missed...

Oddly enough it was probably my favorite so far. *NM* Craig - 20/10/2009 10:22:51 PM 365 Views
So what is his best? Gher - 21/10/2009 12:03:15 AM 851 Views
Cryptonomicon, most likely. jh - 21/10/2009 06:30:52 AM 881 Views
I started reading him with Cryptonomicon imlad - 21/10/2009 05:12:51 PM 947 Views

You don't have to do a full summarization. Ouranid - 20/10/2009 08:27:49 PM 909 Views
I believe Our Noble Weblord is working his way through it now, or recently has done. Tim - 20/10/2009 11:42:41 PM 836 Views
yes, several times, which is not my norm... temeraire - 21/10/2009 02:30:04 AM 869 Views
It's a fascinating read... vandevere - 21/10/2009 02:40:24 AM 868 Views
That was one of my predominant thoughts throughout... Jacob - 21/10/2009 02:06:34 PM 948 Views
I bought it about a month ago, but haven't read it yet. Darth_Katie - 21/10/2009 04:26:20 AM 921 Views
I bought it not last weekend, but the weekend before. And then read it all in about 2 days. Nebhead - 21/10/2009 09:06:17 AM 1164 Views
I feel pretty much exactly the same way. Jacob - 21/10/2009 01:58:47 PM 1053 Views
I think uncertain is probably the best description Katja - 27/10/2009 11:26:11 AM 925 Views
Well, I think he has some ideas of the implications. Jacob - 27/10/2009 05:53:01 PM 888 Views
I bought it a few weeks ago. Not got around to reading it yet. snoopcester - 21/10/2009 01:20:06 PM 868 Views

Looking back, I can't remember reading it. I one hundred percent see it in my head as a movie. Burr - 21/10/2009 11:29:15 PM 966 Views
That's often how I remember Stephenson's books. Jacob - 22/10/2009 02:34:40 PM 814 Views
That's a great point. Jayhawk - 22/10/2009 05:43:24 PM 901 Views
