Favorite audio book of hundreds!

Revisado: 04-07-18

Jeremy Irons is the perfect reader of this ultra-clever linguistic masterpiece! Hell, Humbert! It was a marriage made in Heaven, Humbert. There was a Lo to behold in my pampered ears. De lect (aud) able!

read kierkegaard instead

the pseudojunkscience of personality has a long way to go. philosophy is far more helpful and insightful.

Epic saga of the digital era since WWII

Revisado: 06-03-16

it's everything that any nerd would ever want in a novel about the emergence of computers and encrypted communication, sprinkled with excellent commentary about humanity's relationship with technology. it was really long, but i was still sad when it ended. it never dragged, although some of the shorter vignettes were not much more interesting/funny than personal blogs or facebook posts. but hey, this was written before that stuff proliferated -- once again showing stephenson's prescience.

the narrator was a 9 out of 10 and did a great job with the many ethnic accents and military personalities.

step into the tesseract

Revisado: 02-17-15

i relished it. makes you really appreciate this life's ratio of variety to span because hell is nearly infinitely less varied and longer/wider. God only knows what it would be like to make it through. maybe the def of God is someone who has made it through and read every book along the way. ". . . that ye may know what is the length and breadth and depth and height . . . love of God surpassing all understanding." - ephesians 3.
