I'd suggest The Diamond Age as a logical continuation from Snow Crash because it's also awesome and because it's very (very) loosely a sequel. It has a different tone and pace and theme, however.

Ah, yes, I loved the Diamond Age also. Actually, I think I've read almost everything by Neal Stephenson.

Cryptonomicon? The only book I ever read to say "I beat you massive book!" and not for enjoyment. In the end it was a decent romp.

I had the endurance to read through Cryptonomicon, it was long but still enjoyable.

Then I bought all three volumes of the Baroque Cycle, but gave up halfway through volume 1 and sold them. It was just too much.

Cryptonomicon benefits a lot from being a theoretical comp-sci and/or crypto nerd.
