 788 <p>Of the <em>Sandman</em> spinoffs, <em>Lucifer</em> stands out as the best for
 789 the first half, but then the writer appears to take on far too great a
 790 task, and, with the introduction of some disagreeable character
 791 relations, fails to execute the story as well as it could have
 792 been. Still, it was worth reading to the end even though most of the
 793 stories after issue 35 or so were merely ok. If you like Kierkegaard I
 794 suggest issues 2, 3, and 62&mdash;they show the form of the incommensurable
 795 relation of the single individual to the absolute perfectly.</p>

1038 <p>AMOP is useful as a reference to the CLOS MOP (although less so with
1039 the online MOP spec), but the true value of the book lies in the first
1040 half of the book. It presents the design of the CLOS MOP through a
1041 series of revisions that fix limitations of earlier implementations
1042 and gradually work toward a generic and well designed MOP for
1043 CLOS. Through that process one is made more aware of a few general

1270 <p><em>On the Geneaology of Morals</em> is a wonderful book of three
1271 polemical essays on the origin of moral/ethical valuations, and the
1272 blindness of modern philosphers whose very thinking is tainted by
1273 these valuations unknowingly.</p>

1282 <p><em>Ecce Homo</em> is Nietzsche's very strange autobiography and
1283 explanation of his own works. At points it is clear that it could have
1284 used a bit more editing (prevented by Nietzsche ... falling into a
1285 catatonic state and all), but is still a very useful book to read as
1286 Nietzsche explains the overall structure of his works.</p>

1395 <p>A quotation from one of my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughter_of_the_Soul">favorite metal songs</a> inspired me to grab
1396 this book; at worst it would be a waste of time. Much reward was found
1397 in this random stab in the dark. The book is framed as an
1398 autobiography of the author as a psychoanalyst, and his progression
1399 through life as a Dice Man after deciding to live his life through
1400 random chance.</p>
1401
1402 <p>The style, plot, and content are equally neurotic; part comedy, part
1403 attack on psychoanalysis, and part deep philosophy. It was often
1404 difficult to put down, and was read in under a week of spare time.</p>

1419 <p>As one must read the <em>Bible</em> to understand English literature, so one
1420 must read <em>Snow Crash</em> today to be a nerd. In the realm of modern pop
1421 fiction this is one of the better books I've read; it was devoured in
1422 a mere four nights. Neal Stepheson may not be Milton, but he does come
1423 up with enganging tales. <em>Snow Crash</em> has a nice undertone of (quite
1424 accurate) political and social commentary that makes it worth reading
1425 as more than mere cyberpunk fiction.</p>

1433
1434 <p>I read <em>Cryptonomicon</em> when it was new, and at the time I thought it was
1435 good. It could have lost a hundred or so pages without detracting from
1436 the plot, but it was easy reading and didn't take very long to
1437 finish. The story was enganging, and the continual switching between
1438 the 1940s and present day slowly unravelled the tale in a nice way.</p>
1439
1440 <p>I'd still have to recommend <em>Snow Crash</em> if one wished to read only one
1441 Stephenson novel.</p>
