Halfway through Snow Crash for the first time and I can say its pretty good so far!

Which of his should I follow it up with /avoid like the plague?

Thanks for all of the recommendations! I will definitely be reading more of his.

(I get the criticisms of his character development, but they are so parts of the scene he has built I don't really seem to care that much at this point)

In answer to the question, probably more the philosophy? The action sequences can be mixed for me. But its the whole of the constructed worlds that I find attractive to think about in more detail.

Anyone got questions?

If you've got a goodreads account the link to ask is here, but I'm not sure if you have to have read something of his to be eligible to ask questions. Let me know if you can't ask your own and I'll copy'n'paste them over there.

Weird I shelved one over there and got nothing.

Ask him about his opinion about Hobby Lobby and cuneiform tablets
