Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle

I just finished this entire series on Audible. The audible versions are split into 8 different purchases rather than the three in the printed version. It is narrated by Simon Prebble - who does a very good job. This was my first exposure to Stephenson. I've never read any of his books before this.

I enjoyed it immensely (being a history buff added to the enjoyment, I think).
The reviews on Goodreads for this series are all over the map. Many people hated it, found it dull and in need of a good edit. I don't think that although it did drag in certain spots. All in all I enjoyed it.

I have Cryptonomicon in my pile to read, but think I will take a break before taking on another of his books. They are long.
