And that is Neal Stephenson. Snow Crash is an awesome novel, and Cryptonomicon is better than Gravity's Rainbow. I'm reading it now (it's even longer than GR) and I can barely put it down.

Do yourself a favour and read Snow Crash at least.

Snow Crash was pretty brilliant. I like the guy a lot more than William Gibson in that genre.

I always wanted to try his baroque trilogy, but it seemed way too dense for me.

You spend the whole time we've known each other pressurising me to read Gravity's Rainbow, then soon as I start, you find a better book. I've half a mind crack its thick spine over your skull.
