Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer

DiamondAge.jpgI don't know if I've picked up more on nanotechnology or if I just took my time when I read but this Neal Stephenson book made more sense when I read it this time around as well. At this rate, I'll be ready to have another run at the Quicksilver series

The best part of Stephenson's writing for me is the ensemble cast.  There are always a dozen people to follow around and everyone has at least three agendas on the go.  I also love to watch the way that all of the storylines converge.  This is another book with a tangible sense of pace that picks up as everyone draws closer to the endgame, always a good thing in my books.

I've been having a bit of a binge on my reading right now so I'm a little tapped out for commentary.  I'm also a little hungry for breakfast and, as I don't have a Matter Compiler in my kitchen to fill my order, I need to go and actually do something about breakfast.
