Reamde by Neal Stephenson

I approached this with some trepidation due to my love of some Stephenson and inability to access other of his novels, plus the length at 1,000+ pages is a bit daunting. As it turns out, this is a page-turning fast-paced story with a variety of characters that kept my interest until the very end. Stephenson takes the approach of putting characters in a situation, introducing the worse-case scenario, and figuring out how to move from there. Loved it.
