Heather’s recommendation of Seveneves > Likes and Comments

I've almost read some NS...I got about 3/4's of the way through Reamde before I got a bit bored with it. I was thinking about giving this a try just wondering if it'll be better than Reamde
I haven't tried Reamde, but I really liked Seveneves (very technical) and Anathem (less technical) - and then didn't really care for Quicksilver, and was lukewarm about Cryptonomicon. I guess that's the beauty and the challenge of an author with a wide range! I feel the same way about Neil Gaiman: about half of his stuff blows my mind, and the other half...just...eh? Anyway, I think Seveneves is worth a try, especially if you can borrow it from the library!
Hmm, have you ever read Dan Simmons? He writes a variety of different kind of books (some of them don't even have genres) It sounds like you'd probably like some of his books. One of my favorites is The Terror and of course his Hyperion Cantos series.
