I really loved Snow Crash. That's a perfect balance between science fiction and reality, without crossing the cringe-threshold. Really wish someone adapted it into a mini-series. Encouraged by that lecture, I tried Cryptonomicon and liked it even more. I then listened to the audio-book version read by Stephenson himself. It's actually hilarious in this way. REAMDE has actually been quite disappointing. I put it down after 2 chapters (it crossed the cringe-threshold for me). Haven't picked up any of Neal's books since.
