Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson
1.0
DNF - I got about 200 pages in and just quit; I simply could not become engaged in [b:Quicksilver|823|Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, #1)|Neal Stephenson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1377095669l/823._SY75_.jpg|1610031] by [a:Neal Stephenson|545|Neal Stephenson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1430920344p2/545.jpg] despite being assured that this book was "right my my alley" and to "give it time" . . . it wasn't and I did.
My biggest issue I had with the novel with Mr. Stephenson's meandering, often dense, into the weeds narrative . . . I find myself getting bored and not at all invested in the characters, plot (when there was one to be found), or environment. I've come to the realization that Mr. Stehpenson's writing sytle does not "speak" to me and his work is just not going to be something I enjoy.
