Wait, what? |
One of my favorite reads, and consequently, favorite listens in audio format. Possibly the best audio book ever. It is so stuffed with a mingling of realism and satire that there is literally never a dull moment. Any other fans? “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | ||

Love it. Plus Diamond Age and a lot of his other books. Snow Crash is probably my favorite | |||

Read it many years ago. I remember searching the internet to find a Fuck You Money calculator. "You know, Scotland has its own martial arts. Yeah, it's called Fuck You. It's mostly just head butting and then kicking people when they're on the ground." - Charlie MacKenzie (Mike Myers in "So I Married an Axe Murderer") | |||

I enjoyed it a lot. My copy is sitting about 3 feet away. I thinking it knows we are are talking about it.  ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . . The aeronaut, free in space, sailing in the infinite, loses himself in the immense undulations of nature. He climbs, he rises, he soars, he reigns, he hurtles the proud vault of the azure sky. — Georges Besançon | |||

I've read and greatly enjoyed a lot of Neal Stephenson's books but had a hard time getting into Cryptonomicon and the Baroque Cycle and never finished them. Maybe it's time to give them another go. | |||

This is one of the ones I'll reread every so often. Does make you wonder how books like this aren't quickly into film production when some of the things that come out of Hollywood defy logic... | |||
