Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you're a geek, or know a geek, this book reads like our minds work while following the main character. Lots of tangents exploring the details optimal solutions to problems most folks couldn't care less about. Following a WWII marine adds some needed gritty relief from the geeky modern day chapters. The book is longer than it needed to be, but the tangents were also a lot of what I enjoyed about the book. My only complaint would be the rather corny ending.
