Check out Neal Stephenson's novels "Reamde" and "Cryptonomicon".  (Or if you prefer far-out SciFi/Fantasy type reading, try "Snow Crash".)

I don't have much time for reading fiction these days, so I have to pick out the gems from the sea of vampire romances and zombie apocalypses.  Enjoy!

Cryptonomicon should be required reading for Bitcoiners.

Haven't read Reamde yet.

Snow Crash is awesome.

Anathem is just as good, but be warned, even the e-book weighs a pound and a half.

I've read both Cryptonomicon and Reamde. Enjoyed them both.

The Tale of Dank will be a good read.

I'm sure it will, Dank, but I've already read the Illuminatus! trilogy. Will it compare?
