Someday I'll get to it. I linked up to your review of Operation Mincemeat and added it to my wishlist. It was fictionalized in a Persephone book I just read, a couple weeks ago, but I didn't want to give it away since just saying what it's about is a total spoiler so I just linked up with a warning<br />. I've got to get my mitts on that book!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-42214940162863192092012-04-02T08:06:14.093-05:002012-04-02T08:06:14.093-05:00Kay - It isn't just the length of Cryptonomico...<b>Kay</b> - It isn't just the length of Cryptonomicon, it's dense! <br /><br />I love Lynley, too, but have had quite a few quibbles with the last few books, and this one is no different. My favorite character is Barbara Havers--she always interests me.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-39389023870052542612012-03-31T16:41:05.246-05:002012-03-31T16:41:05.246-05:00I've always wanted to read CRYPTONOMICON, but ...I've always wanted to read CRYPTONOMICON, but my word, the length of it. Glad that you are sharing some of it. I have the new Lynley book as well and will get to it at some point. It hasn't gotten very good notices, but I still love Lynley. He looks like Nathaniel Parker in my head now though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
