I'm reading Neal Stephenson's "Baroque Cycle" trilogy right now
My whoopsie on the name. The first is really setting the scene, like the first act of a play. I own all 3 in hardback, the wait between volumes was painful, I did a 3 hour round trip and bribed a shop assistant to get the third one. Overall they're probably my favorite books, Stepherson's ability to not only have great, engaging stories but also to use them as a vehicle for ideas is awesome. If you haven't you owe it to yourself to read Diamond Age.
