Same, I actually tried reading Snow Crash on my kindle a month ago. I've read pretty much all of Gibson and found Snow Crash too... corny? I gave up at about the point where some autonomous dog thing died. Sci-fi is like vi / emacs preferences I guess.

I gave up at exactly the same place. Absolutely baffled why it’s constantly cited, it’s totally insipid, unimaginative, and poorly written.
