Reading the new book he co-authored, The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. - he made it all the way to page 33 without a "Hello I am Neal Stephenson, a smarty-man" segment, so clearly have a co-author helps. Enjoyable otherwise, if invariably about Boston and featuring odd uses of internet speak for no discernible reason.

precision posted:I don't know why but I am having a real hard time working up the energy to read DODO. I don't expect I'll dislike it or anything, I just... I dunno. Co-authored books have a really spotty track record in my experience, The Talisman and Good Omens being massive exceptions to that. Oddly enough, it kind of feels like a Pratchett book at times. I think it's the witches. They're very Granny Weatherwax in character. Sort of a weird mix of Stephenson/Pratchett. I don't get much of the other author's voice at all, but I'm only about 200ish pages in.
