it's an interesting diversion from neal stephenson. it's hard to call a book that clocks in at almost 1,000 pages a light novel, but for stephenson it is. reamde is light on the technical digressions, philosophical musings and multiple intertwining storylines that make the baroque cycle or cryptonomicon so loved or hated, depending on your tolerance for that sort of thing. what it does have is two or three rip-roaring action sequences that take hundreds and hundreds of pages to complete. stephenson doesn't get the credit for being a great writer of action sequences, but really, there is no one better.(less)

as usual, michael lewis takes a very complicated topic; in this case the sub-prime mortgage meltdown and it's ensuing tsunami through the financial system, and turns it into a compelling story. stocked with memorable characters and funny montages it's the sort of thing lewis is known for - basically it's moneyball for high finance. i'll also give lewis this, he has the ability to breakdown complicated topics into understandable chunks without making the reader feel like an idiot. i read it in two days, it's a very, very fast read.(less)

wow. the third of the westeros books from martin was a punch in the gut. two insane weddings serve as the centerpiece of the book and continue the marting trend of making you want to throw the book down in frustration as he jerks around characters you have come to love. of course he cuts down those you want to see cut down too, and in the martin books none of the characters is ever as smart as they think they are. just like life.(less)
