Vacation not quite over, but just finished Cryptonomicon (moments ago). You were exactly right: fantastic! I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the recommendation!
A few weeks ago, my wife mentioned that a friend of hers, to whom I had recommended Cryptonomicon, told her the same thing. Both he and his wife liked it so much that they now buy two hardbacks of any new Stephenson book, since they don’t want to fight about it (though I have to acknowledge that Quicksilver and The Confusion, while good and very good, respectively, aren’t as good as Cryptonomicon).
No, I get no kickbacks.
UPDATE: Lawprof Larry Ribstein is also part of the cult, and has some interesting thoughts about the book.
