I just finished Snow Crash by Stephenson. It's a great book, but I have the same complaints about it that I do about Cryptonomicon. This guy kinda just phones in the ending after he's spend all his talent on writing an awesome story up until that point, and that either I have to look up the historical stuff he uses, or just let it be part of the story and not care about whether it is accurate or not. Oddly enough, Crypto was the reason I was ignoring The Da-Vinci Code, due to some historical stuff being thrown into a fiction story. After Snow Crash I just said "gently caress it" and bought DVC, but haven't started it.

I'm also expecting to have the same complaints about The Diamond Age, which is sitting next to my bed waiting for me to start it.
