liv: Bookshelf labelled: Caution. Hungry bookworm (bookies)
Author: Neal Stephenson

Details: (c) 1995 Neal Stephenson; Pub Penguin 1996; ISBN 0-140-27037-X

Verdict: The diamond age is geekily delightful.

Reasons for reading it: I've heard various people enthusing about it, and I liked the concept of a futuristic neo-Victorian setting. (I also enjoyed Snow crash but I haven't got round to reviewing it yet.)

How it came into my hands: [livejournal.com profile] cartesiandaemon lent it to me.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
