Seveneves was alright, but Anathem, fuck me do I have better things to do. Anathem was the first time I felt a complete disrespect for my time from Stephenson.
Anathem is definitely my favorite novel of his, too.
Seveneves: just stop after act 2. Pretend the last couple hundred pages of the book don’t exist.
Fall: this is the first Stephenson book that I ended up skimming. I could not bring myself to care about the endless retelling of Paradise Lost. And yes, I’ve even read The Big U. It was better than Fall, imo.
