I read it earlier this year. Absolutely fanatastic book. Laugh outloud funny, too.

Just got done reading 'The Cryptonomicon'. The first 7/8 of the book was great. Then when the "hero" (who is a first class paranoid) gets new luggage with zippers all over and flies into a place where he knows people are out to get him and knows that they execute anyone found with drugs -- and ends up caught with planted drugs in his new bag with zippers all over -- it kind of lost its appeal.

He is coming out with another book, "Quicksilver". Actually, I think it is a trilogy. Haven't decided if I will get it yet.
