YES!!! I've found Neal stephenson readers! I LOVE HIM! HE KICKS! I've read Snow Crash many a time, and am reading cryptonimicon for the god knowth time. Hehe hiro protaganist was a funny name. Those books Rox0red!

If you want to be in the det.net l33t hax0rs book club you have to read Neil Stephenson, and the rainbow books.

Haven't read his latest, but I've read every other book he's written (that I know of)
The Big U, Zodiac, Snow Crash, Diamond Age. HIGHLY recommended =P

Who knows where I'd be today if mqa hadn't lent me his copy of Snow Crash years ago?

those were the days... i got that book for free when i bought specter VR... opened the box, said "what the hell is this?! snow crash? sounds like a rip-off of 'alive'" threw it on my floor. six months later i was bored so i read it. and it changed my life forever...
ahh nostalgia.

ok, I just have to say it:

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. Necessary reading for the serious hacker... sort of.

The last book I read that I really enjoyed was the House of Spirits, which I'm sure only a few of you would enjoy. It's based on south american politics, and I really enjoyed the writing style.

I really should read more; it's a shame that work and hobbies take up so much of my time.

Books? What are those?

Seriously though, I haven't had time to read a book in ages .. stupid work *grumble*

The last good book I can remember reading is Robert Heinlein's Have Spacecuit Will Travel. That was a good one if I remember correctly.
