I had a really interesting dream last night about the end of the world. Very peaceful; contained a long conversation about windows and multiple dimensions. More Anathem than Cryptonomicon, but hey, I'll take what I can get. I had been rationing my Cryptoreading in order to preserve my status as someone living the part of my life where I could still experience Cryptonomicon for the first time, as wasoxygen called it. Yesterday was the tipping point, which oddly enough was the introduction of Marcus Aurelius Shaftoe -- my favorite character -- and I burned through the last 400 pages. So now I'm post-Crypt, and bereft.
