Yesterday I finished Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I’m starting today The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini.

Snow Crash was a really great book. Had a good mix of science fiction, dystopian-themes, mythology, and linguistics. Highly recommend.

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson

I was in the mood for some good cyberpunk, and it's been a fun read so far!

Finished Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. It was ok. Started off pretty good but I started losing interest about halfway through.

Started Suttree, by Cormac McCarthy. I love McCarthy's writing style and am glad to be reading something by him again.

Started Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. Getting used to the way he writes, and the book is like a mix between the new Blade Runner and Ready Player One.

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson

Been looking into the cyberpunk genre because of a certain upcoming game, and this one came highly recommended. Really enjoying it so far as well. I read the plot synopsis, and it sounded a bit dumb. Sort of like something I might have found funny when I was 11 (cool samurai who's also a hacker, but he delivers pizza for a living) but it's actually really clever!

The bit I'm at now is a bit weird though. Half way through, there's a lot of talk about the history of the Bible and Judaism, which got kinda confusing and it's very much tell > show. Like three chapters of 'tell me more about...' options in a BioWare game. Hoping it picks back up again soon!

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson First book by Stephenson for me, seemed like a good intro to him, and the second cyberpunk book I've read. Although I supposed Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep? is proto-cyberpunk.

Still reading Urth of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe, and getting near the end now. I can actually see the Christian / Catholic parallels in the story of Book of the New Sun now. It sort of diminishes the book in my mind, though I may not know how I feel till I reread Book at some point in the future.

Not sure what I'll read after this. There was a good number of ebooks that went on sale in the past couple weeks so I have a lot more to choose from than I thought. Perhaps I'll start Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson later this week.

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. Just hit the halfway mark, reading it for my sci-fi book club. It's the first Neal Stephenson I've read.

Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon it's okay, but apparently it's part of a series and I doubt I'll continue the series. It does make me want to visit Barcelona, though.

Finished: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

Started: Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

The ending of Snow Crash was a little weird. I even flipped back and forth a bit to see if I was missing/had missed some pages. In a sense, I think he did a good enough job laying the groundwork so you have a high degree of confidence how things turned out for each character, but the ending still seemed to come out of nowhere.

This week I'll be reading Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. It's a little bit different from what I usually read, but so far I can't seem able to put the book down! I'm really excited to finish this book and that hasn't happened in a while so that only gives me more enthusiasm to finish the book!

The Ringworld Engineers, by Larry Niven

Just finished this. It's definitely not a standalone book as there are lots of references to things mentioned in the first book, so best to read that first.

The action felt a bit stop/start so it took me longer to finish than most science fiction because I had to promise myself something would happen soon and to keep reading.

I loved being reminded of how large the Ringworld was, and I kept having to refer back to the map at the start for context and scale.

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson is going to be the next read. I loved Seveneves, even though it made me paranoid for the future of the earth for a little while after.

Continuing with Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. I'm about 70% through and it's pretty interesting. I didn't expect any religion/ancient history mysteries to be in a cyberpunk novel, though.

Started Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson and it is a wild ride, loving every moment of it!

Just started Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I've already read Neuromancer so this will round out at least my foundational foray into cyberpunk literature.

After that and waiting by the nightstand is Jurassic Park by Crichton, because y'all can't stop singing its praises so I gotta see what the fuss is about.

I finished Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov and Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi last week. I liked both but neither are going into a favorites list of mine. I thought Persepolis was going to be a little more analytical about the Iranian Islamic Revolution but I guess that wasn't really the point of the book. Lolita had some great passages and the more introspective sections near the end were nice to see.

Started Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson and have liked it so far. The first few chapters seem heavy on parody of cyberpunk but I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. It's gotten a little more serious where I'm at and I like that more.

Will also likely start The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan this week. Looking forward to it since I've enjoyed listening to Sagan in old videos and reading his Cosmos book.
