I'm still triggered.

Snow Crash is the worst book I've read in my adult life.

That book could only appeal to people who have said "Deadpool was actually a pretty good film," and people who have a "meta-sarcastic" sense of humor.

That book put me off the cyber-punk sub-genre permanently. It's a shame because I enjoyed Neuromancer and planned on checking out more of it.

Fuck Stephenson, fuck his whole Neil Gaiman/ Douglas Adams tier.


Garbage for all-growed-up 15-year-olds in 2003.

I bet you listen to Papa Roach and the other "real classics of that era".

It's a literature board, and I'm not "totally post-ironic", so I care enough to warn other people.

I bet you've said "Patrick Rothfuss is a great world-builder."

The Wind-Up Girl.

But you didn't read the blurb! It said he's literary now! Wow!

This, the only book I read from him and I really didn't enjoy it at all. It's put me off reading Snow Crash

I tried reading this book several times and couldn't get very far into it. When I'm done reading Neuromancer I'll give it another go though.

why? couldn't handle all the kick ass balls to the walls in yo face action?

Not sure desu, I liked his world building, and the characters seemed interesting. I think I was distracted by vidya at the time. Although these days I'm trying to play less vidya and read/write more.
