Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
4.0

2.5 years to read the first 300 pages. About to give up but gave it one more chance. It got interesting so next 300 pages took a week. Finished the last 300 in a few weeks time. Really enjoyed the book once I could see where the stories were headed. Basically, don't give up too soon since it's an interesting perspective from WWII.
