Most people can't get through Stephenson, but I'd recommend starting with _Snow Crash_, _The Diamond Age_, or _Anathem_. _Cryptonomicon_ is like candy if you happen to be up on Alan Turing and Enigma, however. I love everything Stephenson's written except _The Year of Rice and Salt_. I love Kim Stanley Robinson as well, and sitting next to him on the shelf, Robin McKinley. Very different, but another author people seem to love or hate. -- Heather Madrone (heat...@madrone.com) http://www.madrone.com http://www.sunsplinter.blogspot.com I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me access to the source code.
