I think I can get into more Neal Stephenson. I read the first part of Quicksilver, the first book of his Baroque Series, really enjoyed it. It was like historical fiction of 17th cent. English scientists, Isaac Newton was one of the main characters. It might sound iffy but it was really interesting and entertaining. I got the second book then realized that what I had read was actually only a section of the first book, been meaning to get the rest of it for too long.
Snow Crash is amusing so far, sounds like Readme is pretty similar... techno/future, but most of the story is in the online world (metaverse, as it is called).
