let's unravel the edge of time where proofs and postulations rise
Finished Anathem in two weeks flat. 937 pages. A lot of that was airport time.
The thing I'm kind of stuck on right now is that it has the same problems as early Stephenson - the female characters are underdeveloped and the ending is beyond rushed - it just isn't there. Like, if I hadn't been able to physically see the back cover was only twenty pages away (if I had, for instance, been reading it on a Kindle) I would have been shocked to suddenly find myself at the epilogue.
However, it was thoroughly engrossing, so I can't in good conscience not recommend it.
