By this I mean, a book you had to brace yourself to read, and you feel proud for having read. Did you enjoy the process of reading it?

    Seven eves. The author indulges a little too much in technical details. At points, for pages.

      I thought it was very good. Stephenson does have a tendency to get really into whatever the subject matter of his story is, eg. cryptography in cryptonomicon, MMOs and gaming in REAMDE, Alan turing and AI in The Diamond Age etc. I find it to be an endearing aspect lf his writing. Definitely recommend Seveneves.

      End then, as typical, the “end” is done in a haste. My only gripe with him (and this book in particular)

      I thought it was the easiest Neal Stephenson’s book. (That I’ve read.)
