Ugh, the Baroque Cycle. That felt even more like a worthless slog than Reamde (though I'm interested enough in the idea to wonder if I should re-read). But Reamde is probably my least favorite.
@Pope John Peeps II, I agree with everyone here! Read Anathem, Cryptonomicon, and Snow Crash.
"Hey, honey, do you need anything? I think I'm gonna head to Whole Foods, I heard a new one just opened in the city." "Oh? Great! Pick me up a couple of those two-bite brownies, okay?" "Sure thing, I'll be back in a couple days."
Oy, I disagree. Aside from the Countdown stuff (which is absolutely skippable), I vote skip everythign that Morrison WAS directly involved with. Stick with Rogues Revenge, Revelations, and Legion of 3 Worlds. Final Crisis is a horrific mess (where, for some reason, the villain shows up in a completely other title?). The trade fixes some issues, but it can't fix how terrible a story Final Crisis is.
While that may work in the short run, in the long run the work she created is very solid and fascinating. I like to think of Harper Lee, who never wrote another book, but is still considered genius for the one.
This is awesome! But I must admit, I was sort of hoping they'd be arranged alphabetically, or by color. I don't know why, but my mind really wanted it. #observationdeck
