Daniel Wood Has anyone read Neal Stephenson's Anathem? Immediately vaulted into my top 10 favorite books. Partially a conceptual successor to A Canticle for Liebowitz, with a little Cryptonomicon and Charles Stross sprinkled in.

Mark Trueblood: Yes, Anathem is definitely not a book you can just pick up for 15 minutes at a time. I think Neal Stephenson is a really important thinker. ...MoreYes, Anathem is definitely not a book you can just pick up for 15 minutes at a time.

Snow Crash/Diamond Age by Stephenson were also very good but obviously the work of a "younger" man ;)

Daniel Wood: A buddy of mine (Josh Kupetz) is one of the editors/contributors of On The Road, The Original Scroll. Great stuff if you're a Kerouac fan.
