Just finished reading Quicksilver.
My take: Far too long. Stephenson needs to be ruthlessly edited. Or, you can take the view that it's not a novel, but a collection of short stories and essays, in which case it still needs to be ruthlessly edited. It's a decent book, and interesting, but it would be a much better book if there was less of it.

I would to agree. Normally, I tear through anything written by Neal Stephenson. Quicksilver, however, is taking me forever. I got the book for Christmas. I'm on page 847, almost done. Anyone who knows me would realize something isn't right.
I've read several other books at the same time and am currently finishing up "1634: The Galileo Affair".
