I loved Anathem.
I am a pretty ignorant person I think and had never heard of Neal Stephenson. Anathem was recommended in Time mag and so I hopped on the computer and found it for sale.(I share that with you because I am still infatuated with the process
) I read it under hugely pleasant circumstances and that may have coloured it. I will take your recommendations and try the others. I used to choose books by looking at the cover and the size of the book and then would read a few passages. I have to be more educated buying online I find and so take lots of recommendations on this forum pretty seriously.
