By this I mean, a book you had to brace yourself to read, and you feel proud for having read. Did you enjoy the process of reading it?

    I loved Anathem, but the ending was a bit too much all over the place for my taste. I honestly enjoy random philosophical discussions, so the first third of the book was my bread and butter.

    Stephenson is a weird author, Anathem is great, I enjoyed the Criptonomicon but really did not like Snow Crash.

      Try ‘Reamde.’ It’s Stephenson’s version of a Jack Ryan novel. Billionaire’s niece is kidnapped by the Russian mob…
