Books: What are you reading tonight?

[BigPoppa]

The Cryptonomicon is the setup for Stephenson's magnum opus trilogy of Quicksilver, The Confusion, and System of the World. Each is 1000 or so pages and well worth the effort. Dude did a psychotic amount of research and tells a great story.


I never thought of The Game and The Making of a Poker Player in those terms, but you're spot on. I've always liked books on/by people who were really passionate about something. Tracy Kidder writes books about people like that, and I always find them very interesting.
