All I wanted to do was get up Salllys shirt at the ice skating rink, or sneak out some of my dads Molsen Canadian.

Quicksilver etc
I love 'em...but I'm a Geek. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
It's pretty much Cryptonomicon in the 1700s. If you hate loose ends, vague mysticism, and anachronisms, avoid. If you like long, windy and hilarious writing, dig in. I would start at the start, it's pretty complex. <3 Enlightenment...

[/ QUOTE ] The first one in his latest trilogy starts slooooow. But it seemed to pick up about halfway through. Then I had to return it to the library.
