CRYPTONOMICON

  FANTASTIC (for those of us who love math and numbers)!

  It's about code writing, and even though there were parts I couldn't totally understand I could still see the beauty in the process. Definitely a book to re-read some day.

  If you are highly analytical -- or wannabe -- then this book will keep the CPU of your mind firing as you apply logic throughout the plot in order to solve problems and understand enigmatic situations. Given the time period of this novel, you might find yourself enveloped in history. Wartime, to be exact. And for any gamers out there, this kinda reminds me of <<The Velvet Assassin>> genre of character, game, plot, etc. With lotsa codes to break.

  Better the second time

  I am re-reading this book and now that I know how it ends, the book makes much more sense now.

  Whole sections of this book get stuck in my head and I find myself processing them over and over.
