Anathem
Anathem by Neal Stephenson
Just started reading it. It's almost 900 pages. This is going to take a while.
I've read Cryptonomicon and the Baroque Cycle trilogy also. Great books!

Guernsey Book
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wonderful book! Set on Guernsey in the Channel Islands directly after WWII. I didn't realize that Guernsey was occupied by the Germans during WWII. Told through a series of letters. Funny, poignant.

Kim Stanley Robinson
Forty Signs of Rain by Kim Stanley Robinson
rating: 4 of 5 stars
The first book in the 'environment' trilogy.
Next is 'Fifty Degrees Below' then 'Sixty Days and Counting'.
I read Fifty degrees first and now having read all three books I still like Fifty Degrees best. All of them are mostly set in Washington D.C. so the area is well known to me. In Fifty Degrees, the main character lives in a tree house on Roosevelt Island!
