So, I've been reading a book recently (well, I'm currently in the middle of at least 5, but only one has been really active). It's an unusual book in that there aren't many books that can keep me reading past about page 100 without me saying that it's a good book. Around page 100, it was just getting started. Around page 300, it was amusing me with quotes like this one about Marine Sergeant Shaftoe:
Shaftoe likes the sound of [going to Sweden]. The perilous sea voyage through U-boat-infested waters, the collision with Norway, the desperate run across frozen Nazi-occupied territory, all seem trivial compared with the shining goal of dipping into the world's largest and purest reservoir of authentic Swedish poontang.
Just so you know
Cryptonomicon is about
cryptography,
WW II, and only a little about
sex to keep it interesting to mature minds like mine (*hee hee* I said sex).
