I went trhough John Steinbeck's "East of Eden" earlier this spring and it blew me away. I hadn't read anything from Steinbeck before and I have to say that I was completely taken by surprise by the quality and depth of the work. Goes without saying, I had to get some more. I'm now going through "The Grapes of Wrath" and loving it though it's very different.
Oh well.
I finally got around to openeing my copy of Snow Crash yesterday.
I finished it today.
Still noodling it. Interesting characters. Hiro reminds me a ton of Case (from Stirlings works)
The long conversations between Hiro and the Librarian remind me of some of the back and forth between the Major and Aoi.
EDIT: fixed stupid typo

People tend to look at you a little strangely when they know you stuff voodoo dolls full of Ex-Lax.

Currently being made to read The Turn of The Screw and The Man Who Was Thursday which I don't mind at all. And my cheeky bit on the side is Hugh Laurie's The Gun Seller which is fun, light and a little bit pulpy - just the way i likes em'.
I'm so bad at sticking to one book at a time, I've made a start on about five others too.. short attention span, I blame television.
