Does Anathem have graphs and charts and shit? I am considering it for my next audiobook (almost done with Ready Player One, so I am in a Neal Stephenson mood now), but I don't want to miss out on any great visual aids like in Cryptonomicon. Although actually Reamde seems like an even more appropriate follow-up to that book. Any graphs/charts in that one?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Anathem has a few illustrations, but more importantly, it has a glossary that will need to be referenced often.

not your mom's socks.
P-C, no. Not that I recall (for REAMDE)

Ah, that is a good point.

Ooh, well, maybe that would be better.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If it's annotated properly, using a glossary in ebooks is perfectly simple.
I wish there was a secondary market where I could *give* ebooks away. I'm happy to do without it, I just feel there should be a way I can legally transfer my drm!

Bad me -- I read the last Parasol Protectorate weeks ago!
When others are finished, we can geeble!
And yep, P-C, there's a tie-in. Little, but there. I will try to read the rest of the stories tonight, if I have time.
