I've not yet started Anathem. I'm dreading it. I fear I'll read it and go into a 5000-word diatribe on the criticality of resurrecting professional editing. Please tell me I should start reading it and that I won't go mad.
you once described one of Neal Stephenson's works to me as "the most important book ever written" and retorted "you HAVEN'T read it yet!?!?!" when I asked if it was any good. Dive in. You'll enjoy a sojourn out of the Sæcular world. =)
I don't believe I ever would have said "the most important book ever written". I certainly would've called Cryptonomicon one of my *favorite* books, and been dismayed you hadn't read it.
