Big Yes!!
Try his Baroque Cycle: Quicksilver, The Confusion and The System of the
World. Three thousand pages of historical fiction taking in, well everything
you can think of in the late 17th century and a bit after.
Haven't read his Cryptonomicon, but will when I find it.

Subject: [lit-ideas] summer reading
On the advice of a friend, I just bought Neal Stephenson's _Cryptonomicon_
as a summer read. Though only twenty-five pages in, I'm convinced that
it's worth the time for its 1100+ pages.
Plus it's a mass market paperback! When was the last time anyone found a
current mass market paperback worth the time?
Anyone know Neal Stephenson's work?
