I hope you like it!<BR/><BR/>*Nymeth - I think you would like this one. Stephenson relies heavily on the myth of Babel and the ancient Sumerians and I was really fascinated by how everything came together. I'm really interested in language and linguistics, so even though at times it was a little work to piece this book together, it was really interesting.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-60253225576907012572008-04-02T06:21:00.000-05:002008-04-02T06:21:00.000-05:00"Stephenson discusses theories on linguistics and ..."Stephenson discusses theories on linguistics and mythology and religion"<BR/><BR/>I'm sold!

Science fiction isn't usually my genre of choice, but I really enjoyed this one. <BR/><BR/>*Chica - to be honest, I hadn't even heard of Stephenson until I was assigned this book for class. We also read Gibson (Neuromancer) which I also enjoyed. I'll have to check into his other books. Thanks for the heads up!<BR/><BR/>*Jeane - I'm glad I'm not the only one. It drives my husband *crazy* when I'll get up or start talking or sleep through an action scene.

That first long fight scene in the last Harry Potter Book had me loosing attention before I'd even finished the first chapter (thankfully, that didn't last)Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-29563146957087010052008-04-01T02:10:00.000-05:002008-04-01T02:10:00.000-05:00Ah.. another Neal Stephenson that I really want to...Ah.. another Neal Stephenson that I really want to read, lets see when I get to it.
