The System of the World (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 3): Bravo.
What’s frightening is, I’m seriously trying to figure out how long I’ll have to wait before I can read the Baroque Cycle AGAIN (all 3000 pages of it)so that I can REALLY get my head around the tapestry of the whole thing. Actually make that 4000 pages since I also have to read Cryptonomicon again because it ties into this book… This is seriously good stuff.
