- unicornporn 9y agoThank you. I was kind of hoping someone would have suggestions for further reading. :)

- unicornporn 9y agoThanks, I'm looking forward to some inter-dimensional reading!
- graphitezepp 9y agoAnathem is a great book that explores lots of interesting, fairly unique ideas, and does some moderately original world building. But I always tell people Stephenson (the author, personal favorite) isn't for everyone, and Anathem isn't even for all Stephenson fans, it can be a hard read for many.
