I liked Anathem. I don't know that I enjoyed it, but I liked it. I found 
myself confused by the purpose of much of it, yet I still couldn't put it 
down and when I had to I kept wanting to go back and read more. When I was 
done I thought "Oh... that was kinda interesting." All in all it was a 
good read and held my interest.

Snowcrash and Diamond Age I enjoyed. They were both really good, so +1 to 
each of those.
