I started reading him with Cryptonomicon imlad Send a noteboard - 21/10/2009 05:12:51 PM
But I personally think that my favorite book of his is "Snow Crash". I'd say that is where to start reading him. I think I've read almost everything of his published, and though I think the Baroque Cycle and "Anathem" are great, I also think they are some of the harder books of his to read, especially for one who hasn't read any or much of his work.

Oh yeah, his book "Kodiak" is pretty badass too.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

He is most certainly not for everyone. Jacob - 20/10/2009 08:08:36 PM 883 Views
I read him in small pieces Camilla - 20/10/2009 08:21:51 PM 918 Views

I agree. Jacob - 20/10/2009 08:06:41 PM 921 Views
Oddly enough it was probably my favorite so far. *NM* Craig - 20/10/2009 10:22:51 PM 387 Views
So what is his best? Gher - 21/10/2009 12:03:15 AM 909 Views
Cryptonomicon, most likely. jh - 21/10/2009 06:30:52 AM 942 Views

I read the Baroque Cycle first. Craig - 21/10/2009 09:47:35 PM 902 Views

You don't have to do a full summarization. Ouranid - 20/10/2009 08:27:49 PM 966 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 885 Views
yes, several times, which is not my norm... temeraire - 21/10/2009 02:30:04 AM 926 Views
It's a fascinating read... vandevere - 21/10/2009 02:40:24 AM 918 Views
That was one of my predominant thoughts throughout... Jacob - 21/10/2009 02:06:34 PM 1002 Views
I bought it about a month ago, but haven't read it yet. Darth_Katie - 21/10/2009 04:26:20 AM 972 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 1212 Views
I feel pretty much exactly the same way. Jacob - 21/10/2009 01:58:47 PM 1111 Views
I think uncertain is probably the best description Katja - 27/10/2009 11:26:11 AM 988 Views
Well, I think he has some ideas of the implications. Jacob - 27/10/2009 05:53:01 PM 941 Views
I bought it a few weeks ago. Not got around to reading it yet. snoopcester - 21/10/2009 01:20:06 PM 915 Views
In that case, Jacob - 21/10/2009 02:07:13 PM 946 Views

Yes. Awesome book. The Shrike - 21/10/2009 03:00:21 PM 855 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 1026 Views
That's often how I remember Stephenson's books. Jacob - 22/10/2009 02:34:40 PM 862 Views
That's a great point. Jayhawk - 22/10/2009 05:43:24 PM 953 Views
Snow Crash also has the best named main character of all time: Hiro Protagonist imlad - 23/10/2009 01:39:26 AM 1000 Views
