Did you read the Baroque Cycle?

While Stephenson wrote those books later as a prequel series to Cryptonomicon, I started there and it made me appreciate Cryptonomicon even more as I was already invested in several of the main characters' ancestry and their stories.
Also helped by the Baroque Cycle stories being super entertaining by themselves.

But if you don't like his style of storytelling, I doubt you'll enjoy those.

I loved Snow Crash and Diamond Age. I got halfway through Anathem - no grip for me for some reason.

Don't think I've read Anathem yet... Goes onto the list.

A friend, much better read than me, says it's their favorite Stephenson book. I think they've read them all.

I haven't even heard about Baroque Cycle. Guess I have homework now. I kept seeing Snowcrash and Stephenson's name pop up so I finally read that one. Then figured Cryptonomicon would be next. Now more.
