Zodiac

After almost buying it at the bookstore a zillion times, I finally picked up Neal Stephenson’s Zodiac last weekend and I finish it this morning. Its a fun read and though it doesn’t quite have the full ridiculous power of his prose that one finds in his later works, Stephenson’s unique style is still present, if not quite perfected. The main character is twenty-something, nitrous abusing chemist/enviromental activist, self described “asshole” who lives in Boston. Yeah, its a pretty sweet book, and you should read it.
Of course, if you haven’t yet made it through the ~3000 pages of the Baroque Cycle you need to sack up and get moving.
