[TheForge] Re: OT Neal Stephenson

[Ries Niemi]

Is the system of the world out? recluse that I am, I knew it was due in 
the fall, but havent seen it yet.
I have read the first two, and enjoyed them, although I dont think they 
are quite as good as cryptonomicon.
He is one of those authors whose books I reread every couple of years- 
I think I have read crypto at least twice or 3 times now.
And I love the idea of hiro protaganist, the skateboarding pizza 
delivery guy with samurai swords.
Although I think Bruce Sterling, in Heavy Weather, gets the smart wheel 
thing down a little better.

Being a somewhat compulsive reader, no book is too fat for me.
