Cryptonomicon


Recommended Posts

Someone on here told me to read Cryptonomicon. Thank you. Best book I've read since my last book post. One of the best I can recall. GWCGWC, was it?
A friend recommended that book to me awhile ago but I never read it. Who's the author?

Brief overview / Book report?
wikipedia - Cryptonomicon is a 1999 English language novel by Neal Stephenson. It concurrently follows the exploits of World War II-era cryptographers affiliated with Bletchley Park in their attempts to crack Axis codes and fight the Nazi submarine fleet, alongside the story of their descendants, who are attempting to use modern cryptography to build a data haven in the fictitious state of Kinakuta, a small nation with geographical and political parallels to Brunei.Theres a lot more detail on there if you want to know the details without actually reading the book.

I would never have read this book after reading a summery like this. The writing is supurb and reading the book is like taking a road trip where the destination doesn't matter, only the trip.

I used then analogy "reading this book is like getting a blowjob from a chick with nice big lips, but who's still fit and everything," but it still works.

It's also like 140,000 pages long, which I guess is why I never read it.
I have a copy no need to purchase one. Might have lent it. I think I recommended to someone on here. Neal Stephenson is my favorite author. He is dreamy...
