- jtbigwoo 13y agoAll of Neal Stephenson's books have a breezy sense of wonder and adventure with a dash of science-y cleverness.
- saturdayplace 13y agoIf the OP is looking for a page turner, then Stephenson's Snow Crash is another great recommendation. Anathem was slower to me, and Reamde was good. But if I was to pick up Stephenson's stuff again I go to Snow Crash, then Cryptonomicon as my one, two.
- tqh 13y agoThe Baroque cycle: Quicksilver, The Confusion and System of the World is awesome as well. Who doesn't want to read fiction about The Royal Society, Isaac Newton and Liebniz mixed in with phrases in the line with "In memory of Englands greatest swordsman, beaten to death with a club by an Irishman". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Baroque_Cycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Baroque_Cycle
