Extract: Life happened after reading about 100 pages of this book. My partner of 10 years decided to leave me. This probably tainted my opinion of "Snow Crash". I was already having a hard time concentrating on anything, and I just wanted to explode out of my skin. But rather than finding solace in reading, all the things about this book that were supposed to be great felt self-conscious and arrogant. This book came out in the 1992. So perhaps I needed a more 90's sardonic mind-set, with less distraction by real life events that made this book feel like an exercise in narcissism...
