I don’t know what to call it. John Muir is awesome. So poetic, interested in all the things I’m interested in, inspires me to get out there and go hiking (as if I needed more motivation?) – yet, his work is… I don’t know what to call it… “heavy”… the opposite of light reading. I’m just slogging through it. I don’t know if I really like it, but it’s definitely beautifully quotable. It’s leaving me with so many mixed feelings.
Neal Stephenson. Loved both The Diamond Age and Cryptonomicon but those f*ckers were DENSE
I plan to read Snow Crash sometime in the near future but I kind of need to mentally prepare
snowcrash is your reward for getting through cryptonomicon.
