I did have a hard time with both books the first time I read either. And I never have warmed up to Diamond Age for some reason even though people seem to like it the best. It's not bad but it just never registered with me like Snow Crash. I really enjoyed Crytonomicon a lot though.
I agree about Diamond Age. I really liked it, but I thought Snow Crash was better.

Loved Cryptonomicon though - once of my favourite books.
