Loved Snow Crash, enjoyed The Diamond Age probably better than it deserved, liked Cryptonomicon, but absolutely HATED the Baroque Cycle. Like Stephen King's Dark Tower series, it was an enjoyable read that was absolutely ruined by a lazy, weak ending.
I started Anathem, but one thing that really annoys me is making up words for no good reason, so I didn't even make it through the first chapter.
I'll probably wait to see what the buzz is before I decide whether to read this one. NS books take too much time investment to waste on something as lame as the Baroque Cycle was. That's three weeks of my life I'll never get back.
