Hello fellow Anathem reader, there's doesn't seem to be many of us | ||

Something is seriously wrong with an author when they think they need to invent an entire new language (and force the reader to learn half of it) just for a book. ENGLISH IS A PERFECTLY FINE LANGUAGE, AND EVERY GREAT WORK OF ENGLISH WAS WRITTEN USING IT! Stephenson was my literally my favorite author, but when I got to Anathem I was like fuck this pompous asshat and his made up language BS: I'm sticking to authors who write in English. | ||

Anathem is the best Stephenson book; The Algebraist is the best Iain Banks. There's enough of us to fill a good sized van! | ||
