Finally!

You know, it's almost embarrassing to say it took six weeks to finish a book. I never normally take that long. But when the book is Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, you might understand.

I never thought a book about crypto systems etc would be so fascinating, if hard work. But I really enjoyed it (though reading it while moving might not have been such a smart idea).

Next up, Alistair Reynolds Revelation Space. Another hard sf book. Why yes, I have a theme. I love it, though this is supposed to be as hard a going as the other one.

Ah well! All good fun. Peeved though. Our sf reading group is getting time with Joe Hill, when he comes to do a signing (he's agreed to answer questions etc for half an hour before hand), and I can't make it. Grrrrr.

Back to geekdom.

that is a VERY intense book. I loved it, though.

It was, but it was good.

Such a good book. It almost overtook snow crash as my fave of his.
