Read all but Anathem. I'm still convinced Cryptonomicon is the pinnacle of his writing, and it's downhill from there. The story in Baroque Cycle was great, but good god, that thing needed an editor to do some serious cutting.

REAMDE was quick and entertaining, but it was the equivalent of a Tom Clancy novel. Or, fine, Michael Crichton.
