Something's telling you to wake up and salute

And here's a toast to Neal Stephenson who has grown into an author who can tell a proper story--a delightful story--and has just thrown a plot twist at me that, despite its being obvious and perfectly logical, I completely failed to see until he hit me with it. I approve.

I would love to borrow all or part of anything he has writen after Crytonomicon (well, I have "In The Begining Was The Command Line").

I would be happy to loan it to you, but it's all from the library. (: I suspect that it could be gotten from them easily, as I've been occasionally renewing my loans when the books took longer than expected.

Which Stephenson are you reading?

The System of the World. The third in his 'Tree Frightener' trilogy.
