*grinning* I so rarely come across fellow Stephenson fans.. I loved "Diamond Age" too, and plan on a re-read soon.. would be around the 10th read of it *l* But for me, Snow Crash just edges past.
"Zodiac" by him is also great.. Eco Warrior kind of book..
"The Big U" was a dissapointment.. But "At the beginning was the command line" was a good geek read *l*
I've not read the others he's written yet.. My hsband has, and enjoyed them alot, but they're just way to heavy for me to read as I have a dodgy arm.I've "Neuromancer", but I have to admit it really went totally over my head. Its my husbands favourite book and his online handle is from that. He's a HUGE HUGE Gibson fan, member of his message boards, met him blah blah blah!!
I did read a books of short stories by him that I loved.. "Burning Chrome".Ah.. Not read "Holy Fire" yet either.. I can actually see it from where I am sitting! I should give it a go!
Go spread the Neal Stephenson word.. everyone should read Diamond Age and Snow Crash!!
