Anathem

I FINALLY finished Anathem. I guess it was only kind of ok for me. There were parts I liked, but the barrier to entry into its world was very high. It took me awhile to really get into it, and there were several moments where I almost sang my own rendition of Anathem and DNF'd because I just didn't know what was going on. Reading it over a couple months was surely not the most enjoyable way to experience it, but Stephenson just didn't hold my interest the way a lot of other concurrent reads did so it ended up taking a long time to slog through. It wasn't all disappointing, I enjoyed much of the book in the middle, though I got a bit confused in parts 12 and 13.
