Reply To: What are you reading?
Thanks, everybody, for the recommendations! I have a few books on the list before I get to Stephenson, but I think I’ll start with Snow Crash.
Right now I’m reading The Violinist’s Thumb by Sam Kean. It’s a really well-written book all about the weird world of DNA. I had no idea how much chemistry is going on in our cells on a regular basis. Amazing. It also provides an excuse for me to sing JoCo’s That Spells DNA! I’ve heard Kean’s other book, The Disappearing Spoon is a great read about the history of the periodic table, so that’s on the list, now.
There are way too many good books out there!
