Went to see Neal Stephenson at Cody's on Thursday. My birthday present was his new book. Another 900-pager (v.2 due in March, then v.3 next September!). Didn't stay for autographs because the line was long.

That makes 2 books in the last 6 months with Isaac Newton as main characters (the other one is James Gleick's biography). Curious. One of those zeitgeisten.

Also, an experiment: the title of this entry takes you to Neal Stephenson's wiki.
