I've just started Anathem, by Neal Stephenson. I normally love his books, but the premise of this one just didn't grab me, and it's a bit of a beast. However, I've read everything else he's published and this was on for like 3 bucks or something on Kindle, so I figured I should check it off the list.

It's pretty boring so far, but I'm only a hundred or so pages in. Lotta exposition.

I have the same starting point with Stephenson, but I had the opposite reaction to Anathem -- I loved the beginning, and it turned out that I liked the back half significantly less. Hopefully, if you stick with it, you'll continue to have a different experience than I did -- things do pick up, I just didn't find how they did particularly compelling.

I wasn't wild about the casual racism and etc, but otherwise a decent read.
