Okay, /lit/, this is my first foray into Stephensen's work and I have to ask, is this a fluke? It's just so hard to get through in the beginning...should I have started with another one of his books or should I just stick it through on this one?

forgot to mention i read the diamond age first as well as cryptonomicom, I guess I can just work on his last trilogy. How do you guys like those books?

I doubt it but is there anything as good as snowcrash out there?

Is it good so far OP? I read The New York Trilogy recently and loved it.

Currently, pic related

everyone told me to read it... loved everything else he's ever wrote.. reviews said it was hard to grasp.. so i held off.. finally read it.. fucking mind blown.. heavy stuff.. highly suggest but be ready to take notes and cross reference with other works
any thoughts /lit/?

what do you think of Neal Stephenson's Anathem?

I found it for like $5, and I'm wondering if it's any good...

I'm not big on science fiction, just because I haven't really been exposed to it. Read Dune and loved it though; are they similar in style? I'm not really worried about size as long as it's worth it in the end...

Apparently his stuff is really good but anathem seems hit or miss.
