I keep checking his books out of the library, reading a 100 or so pages and getting bored with his overly verbose stuff.

"Quicksilver" is very slow at the start. I had a tough time until we got to the two main characters, and then it exploded. Reviews say his new one, "the Confusion," gallops into the narrative right from the start. He tries to give the reader math lessons throughout "Cryptonomicon." I just skim and keep going.
