Snow Crash is his best book. Imaginative and punchy as fuck.

Cryptonomicon is very good too. Should be a must read for people who want to make another Tor :)

Incomparison, Reamde is slow and boring.

Huh interesting. I actually thought reamde was the most gripping after I got through the first 2 or 3 chapters which were indeed a bit slow. I wasn't able to finish cryptonomicon, that one was the most boring for me

Interesting- cryptonomicon was the book that gripped me abs made me pursue a technical career.
