These are some of my mom's favorite books of all time.
I'm generally a fan of Stephenson, but I couldn't make it through the first book of the Baroque cycle because I didn't think the lens of historical fiction was a good fit for his "keep reading and maybe there'll be a plot eventually" writing style. Ymmv though.
