Quicksilver reads like one of those historical adventure-and-fuckery novels, except aimed at geeks. And with less fuckery than the norm. I was looking forward to some hot Waterhouse/Newton slash, except that would have made Waterhouse more of a Gary Stu. Instead, there was just UST.

Neal Stephenson has become a library-first author.

Quicksilver wasn't bad. I hauled through it. But porn? Porn would have helped much.

It's a fun read. But fun reads are not buy-on-sight material. If it's not out already, I'll wait for the paperback. If it is out, I'll wait to buy it until my funds are higher and I've bought other items on my priority list that come before it.
