I don't even remember reading that (or starting to, anyway.) My memory's really going.
I can't really rank them, but in the top echelon are:
Cryptonomicon,
Anathem, and
The Baroque Cycle - Neal Stephenson
the
Galactic Milieu trilogy - Julian May (except I'm finding that I like her other stuff a whole lot less, which is a shame)
Dream Park - Larry Niven & Stephen Barnes (anyone who ever did any RPG gaming will love this one)
The Talisman - Stephen King & Peter Straub
