Been reading Snow Crash today.

I borrowed it from my friend Charlie last night and although I did open it last night at 3:00am, I only really started reading it this afternoon. The story itself is interesting, I’m only halfway through it so far so the plot is still unfolding, but the thing that has really drawn me into it is the actual style of writing.

I cant pin down exactly what is so different about Neal Stephenson’s style, but I cannot think of any other novel written this way.. it’s mildly infuriating because I’m sure there’s something different in the style, but it’s not obvious.

I assume that someone else that reads this has read this novel, or perhaps Cryptonomicon, which was written by the same author and can help me work out what I’m talking about?
