I finished Cryptonomicon, but wouldn't re-read it. In retrospect, it gave me
the beginnings of the over-stuffed, under-worked-through feeling I got from
Quicksilver.

But you did make it through Cryptonomicon? I found that immensely fun and
have re-read it a few times. I've never felt compelled to re-read Snowcrash.
