So what is his best? Gher - 21/10/2009 12:03:15 AM 805 Views
Cryptonomicon, most likely. jh - 21/10/2009 06:30:52 AM 836 Views
I started reading him with Cryptonomicon imlad - 21/10/2009 05:12:51 PM 898 Views

yes, several times, which is not my norm... temeraire - 21/10/2009 02:30:04 AM 828 Views
It's a fascinating read... vandevere - 21/10/2009 02:40:24 AM 817 Views
That was one of my predominant thoughts throughout... Jacob - 21/10/2009 02:06:34 PM 903 Views
I bought it about a month ago, but haven't read it yet. Darth_Katie - 21/10/2009 04:26:20 AM 883 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 1116 Views
I feel pretty much exactly the same way. Jacob - 21/10/2009 01:58:47 PM 1010 Views
