I get to sell off my mint 1st edition hardcovers :D Apparently an unpopular opinion, but Snow Crash was horrendous. I slogged through that "in the present 3rd person point of view" satirical mess. Terrible prose, uneven pacing, painful.

I also find Snow Crash to be my least favorite of Stephenson's works.

There are so many to choose from, and the terrible part is seeing how he tries to grow his writing skills and… doesn't.
