pegkerrI'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.

I can't answer that question. I never even tried Cryptonomicron. Having failed to like Snowcrash and failed to even start Diamond Age, I decided that Neal Stephenson enjoyment was something that happened to other people.
...with - for me - the single, shining, eminently rereadable, coarse, crude, engaging, funny, suspenseful, and hardly-SF-at-all exception of Zodiac, of which I just discovered I own two copies. If you lived closer, I'd lend you one.
