Diamond Age
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008I just had the most delightful pleasure of finishing Neil Stephenson’s The Diamond Age for a second time.
Only this time I read it on my Kindle.
I don’t usually mean to be THIS much of a prick.
But you either know why that’s deeply satisfying, funny, and more than a little creepy or ya don’t.
My memory of Stephenson’s writing (having only devoured a few of his works) was wrapped up entirely in his vivid imagination. Unfortunately (in some regards) I’d forgotten entirely that his wordsmithing skills are rather considerable.
Of course now I’ll have to go back and read Snow Crash and I’ll probably make my way then to the Baroque Cycle (especially since carrying the damn things on the subway has ceased to be an issue.
very nice.
