I started reading Snow Crash this morning. The first few pages I found really confusing. Then as you read along it all starts to make sense and I didn't put it down for like 2 hours. Surprising.
A new vocabulary word was introduced to me so far: Metaverse. To be it seems like an escape for people from reality into a fantasy world. You can be someone your not, change how you look, and become part of a whole new "world" . It's seems to be that this "Metaverse" is a false reality of people's realy life and more of a fantasy.
This girl named Y.T (Yours Truly) is strange. This whole poon thing and being able to attach to cars is crazy. She seems a little out there. She goes from helping out Hiro to being arrested and taken to "The Clink" in a matter of no time.
Well, just wanted to write down my initial few thoughts of the book so I can compare that to my feelings at the end.

So what are you thinking now a little further into the novel? I agree that at first the novel is disorienting. I think a lot of sci fi works that way, tries to give you the sense that you aren't in Kansas anymore, so to speak.
