I started reading this, and got about 1/3 of the way into the second book, but I ended up quitting. It wasn't that I thought it was bad -- far from it -- but it was just too dense and vast and complex for me at the time, to the extent that it just felt like a slog. There were many great moments though, and I plan to try to tackle it again to the end some time in the future when I feel like it.

Also: relevant username!

Even in places where the story ~maybe~ drags, which I found few of, I think Stephenson's knack for amazing prose helps keep interest. My god does he've a way with words.
