About my libraryThese are books I've READ since my graduation from high school, not necessarily books I OWN. Many I have read several times in the past; they only enter this list now because I've had occasion to read them since.
The list is obviously packed not only with things I read for personal pleasure but books I read for courses. I only put a book in this list if I read it all the way through; there are therefore many books for classes which I have read only part or most of and do not appear on this list. All books which I have read as requirements for courses are listed under the 'class' tag.

No Prob. His Slashdot interview is quite funny, IMHO, especially his answer to the question, "Who would win in a fight between you and William Gibson?"
Great fuckin' review of Snow Crash. You're definitely right about the over-the-top-ness of it, which he did deliberately:

"I dreamed up the Snow Crash world 15 years ago as a thought experiment, and I tweaked it to be as funny and outrageous and graphic novel-like as I could make it."
