The first time i read Cryptonomicon it was a pleasure the whole way through, from page 01 to page >9000. This may have been because it was almost entirely news to me; i had little to no experience with anything it covered. I finished it in 3-4 days. What a delight. Each reread i learn something new. Conversely, I went into Snow Crash with high expectations only to find the story somewhat silly. Not that there weren't really great moments.
