lol... no, no- I forget which book, but it struck me as despair porn with an unhealthy sprinkle of anxiety added in; I ended up giving the book away. and yeah, Gaiman falls into that trap in much of his work.

I read Cryptonomicon which was a fucking slog. Many refer to him as akin to Michener, a master of the info dump. Reamde wasn't like that at all; World of Warcraft-like game developer, Chinese credit card scammers, and Russian mafia are the three big sets of characters. Wild ride.

I've never been impressed with Gaimen. He's always been a condescending prick, and now we learned he's just a gross asshole who can write.
