Neal tephenson's new book is out, and he's signing in NYC on Tuesday!

[Rabrrrrrr]

At the Barnes & Noble at Union Square - discussion and signing starting at 7 pm.

The book is Quicksilver, the first of this three book set preluding the Cryptonomicon. I bought it today, and got about 3 pages read on the subway home. Tonight, I read as much as I can. :-)

Anyone wanting to meet up Tuesday, look for the guy with the suit and tie and shaved head at the signing. Woo hoo!!

1. I have never read his books, but

my high school English teacher was his cousin. My father and my husband both enjoy reading his work.

3. Will he be

signing a metric fuckload of books?

:hi:

Edit: Oh yeah, - and fix your subject line.

5. He might be!

Seems that in one of his books - maybe Crypto - he actually talked about the marine (meaning, the military marines) definition of a shitload.

Sadly, too late to fix the dag-nabbed subject line.

:howdy: :hey: :hi:
