Snow Crash

I just finished reading Neal Stephenson's excellent Snow Crash . It is a really fun book, and it is not your typical plot driven novel. Indeed, the main character's name is Hiro Protagonist. The plot mainly serves as a mechanism for the author to create scenarios that allow him to expound on topics like human languages, and the potential for language-based viruses. You gotta love a book where the main character is both a master hacker and a pizza delivery man for the Mafia.

My next fiction read will be Stranger in a Strange Land , by Heinlein. I've really liked the other Heinlein I've read (particularly The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Starship Troopers), and I've been meaning to read this for a long time. My next non-fiction read will be Peopleware , which I ordered yesterday.
