Books You're Ignoring

[DanaC]

I have ignored the Wheel of Time series.

*nods* yes, yes. This is one I have avoided for quite some time.

I have ignored anything written by Salman Rushdie.

*nods again* and yes, again. My ex not-quite-father-in-law is a big Rushdie fan. I tried one. Can't recall the name. I just couldn't bond with the book in any way.

So far, I'm ignoring Anathem. Been sitting on the floor by my side of the bed since Christmas. Reading it seems like a daunting prospect.

Daunting, but having passed through this particular gauntlet, I believe it is worth it. Perhaps I was lucky in have an e-book, as I never experienced how much the book weighed. I am slowly making my way through The Baroque Cycle, and realize I should probably reread Cryptonomicon.

I'm just digging how Stephenson can still be writing cyberpunk when he's setting his books in the 17th Century. YMMV, but I think it's totally fucking COOL.
