NP - Neal Stephenson

[Jemmy Bloocher]

Honestly I’ve loved everything. Even Anathem. Yes, no kidding. Reamde was partly set in a place I lived in in China, so that was pretty cool.

My first NS was Cryptonomicon and I adored it, I had read Pynchon first though and knew immediately where he was coming from.

Diamond Age, for reasons I can’t quite remember is one of my all-time favourite books. Seriously.
