Snow Crash
After purchasing the book twice over the course of three years, and starting reading it no less than 5 times, I finally finished Neal Stephenson's wonderful cyberpunk novel, Snow Crash. His prose is simply electric, his sense of humor offbeat, and his use of slant analogies sublime ("He thrashed weakly, like a bunny in a Ziploc," or when describing the damage done to a pirate ship by a minigun "as if Tinkerbell had come by sprinkling hypersonic tungsten shards across the hull"). It's the first book I laughed out loud at since reading Jon Stewart's America: The Book. Highly, highly recommended - long live the Deliverator.
