So . . . Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

[pegkerr]

I've heard that this book is excellent.

Um, how much do I have to read before it actually becomes interesting? I'm willing to keep going, but for how long?

Edited to add: It just occurred to me that I probably don't want to start such a long book the week before the next Harry Potter book comes out, so I'm putting it aside and will try again after I've read HPHBP.

It took a while to kick in for me as well, mostly because it isn't my geek-niche so it took a hundred pages or so before I understood enough of the various things that were going on that I could care about them. But I did truly enjoy the book after I got into it.
