I really enjoyed Cryptonomicon. I heard a bit of a lecture on Sci-Fi novels that my uncle checked out from the library, and I seem to remember a post on OG PCF about it.

I've been rereading all of Michael Connelly's books about Harry Bosch. I'm finishing up the 4th right now, think there's another 14 to go.

The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo series. Good stuff for pulp.

Just finished Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.
I am not sure how to feel about it, which is a good thing, because all of my favorites of his I felt the same way. Then I reread and fall in love.
The first two-thirds is fascinating as hell. Lots of technical talk, lots of geekery. Then it changes totally in tone, style and setting. Still lots of tech and geek though.
Ambitious as all holy hell, I predict many people will hate it, and critics especially so. But that's not unusual for him - typically the more literary the critic, the more they hate his shit.
Galt will spasm at all the made up words.
