I just recently read Cryptonomicon and I think it was excellent. Check it out.

Ditto. Finished about 2 weeks ago and it put me in a mood to read everything Stephenson has written. The Baroque Cycle is a loose prequel to Cryptonomicon, apparently.

Glad you enjoyed Infinite Jest. I was considering re-reading it as it's been 8-9 years.

You should check out A Game of Thrones (fantasy) and the subsequent books. They are incredible: gritty, realistic, raw, unforgiving, and unbelievably detailed.

I've been on a Vince Flynn kick lately.

If you like fast, racy thrillers check some of his stuff out.

Thanks, picked it up yesterday and am already reading that instead of studying for finals!
