The Book Meme

I started it, but found I only read about 5 books on there, so it's not worth it.
But I did see that Cryptonomicon was on there...how on earth can people not read this book?! Okay, it comes across at the beginning as a bit overbearing, but I'm someone who hates (I mean HATES) math, and I freaking LOVELOVELOVE this book. Am I a geek? Yeah, a little. Do I fully understand computers? Hey, if there wasn't a GUI there, forget it.
This is one of the most well-written books I've ever read. I laugh out loud at parts, and have learned much from other parts. As well, I now want to go to the Phillipines *because* of this book.
Give it a go. It is a great book...
