The Allure of a Good Book

I've always been an avid reader, but it's been several years since I've found a book that was unputdownable. This one, is The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson. This isn't the first of his novels that I've read, and the others were excellent as well.

This one is hard to pin down to a specific genre; in the first hundred or so pages so far, I'm seeing elements of:

Fantasy

Sci-fi

History

Realistic-sounding (to my non-physicist brain) science: quantum mechanics

Thriller

Political intrigue

I even accidentally noticed that there's a sequel, which I will definitely be picking up.

Not much else to say here, as I don't feel like doing a full review, but it's exciting to be so sucked into a good novel.
