@cassolotl @cwm I loved it! Reccomend. Its very full of tangents and interesting ideas.

Just had a thought, with your EDS, are super thick books an issue? Like, is there a page length limit where you go "oooh, this has to be an ebook"

@cwm @Halberd Actually, due mainly to EDS I've been not really able to read at all for a long time! I'm working on getting well enough to read more, among other things. But yes, heavy and thick books and hardbacks, they hurt. :(

@cassolotl @cwm I'm sorry to hear that. I was going to offer to order you Cryptonomicon but realised it's super heavy x

@Halberd @cassolotl Would you recommend Cryptonomicon over the two I was initially thinking of? My initial awoo wasn't particularly rhetorical -- I'm just super indecisive about this whole thing.

@cwm @cassolotl Do you have an idea of what you're looking for in a read right now?

TBP - Political thriller sci fi, has some explicit violence derived from real past events. This book MADE me read it til.it was finished. Is part of a trilogy.

SC- is a bit like a john carpenter film, lots of maximum 80s sci tropes (but fairly self aware-ly approached). There are some unpleasant relationship ideas in it that I didn't clock until the second read. Vast, and great concepts

@cwm @cassolotl as for Cryptonomicon, its looooong, and there's loads of strands to the story, and I found it was another that grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. Loaaads of tangents (Neil Stephenson loves his tangents). If you haven't read him before, I'd say start with Snow Crash

@Halberd @cassolotl Thanks, that really helped! I think I'll pick up a copy of Snow Crash then.

@cwm @cassolotl no worries :). Enjoy!
