Public Schools Might Be Alright [Books] | Posted at 2:35 PM
I was recently contacted by a young gentleman who is reading The Diamond Age (which, I've said before, I love) for his AP Lit class. I'm glad that this teacher has good taste. He asked me if I'd answer some questions about the book since he saw my review on the blog and of course I accepted and replied.
I am currently reading Anathem by Stephenson right now and I'm really enjoying it. Like all his books, after you get past the first 150 pages you finally understand what is going on. I'm not sure what page I'm at since I have the audiobook but I am pretty aware of what's happening.
There was a review on Audible where the guy said he stopped because he couldn't get past the new words/language and stuff, and how he loved Snow Crash… I don't know, I haven't found it that difficult to follow at all. Sure, there are new words but they are pretty common to English words, you at least have an idea of what they mean and if you don't, Neal will eventually explain them. Plus, I got it "free" ($30 worth of membership) for 2 credits on Audible so I can't complain.
