Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 1)

Very slow start, but the book picks up about half way through. Put in the time, you will be rewarded!

RELEASE NOTES:
My goodness, but this book is too long, especially for a project like this. It took forever to get through and there are something like six million more pages to go in the sequels. I enjoy Neal Stephenson's writing (loved Primer), but this was just too much. There has been a recent glut of books that could use a good edit job; this is another one.

RELEASE NOTES:
Found this book in Meshuggahs and started reading it. Saw it wasn't a booxcrossing book and jumped for joy. Have read Stephenson's more cyberpunk books, but none of the Baroque Cycle or Cryptonomican. Looking forward to it! Will post a review and release location as soon as I finish it......
