Neal Stephenson. I've liked him since "Snowcrash". He lost me on "Cryptonomicon", which I just could NOT get into. ReamDe is entry-level Stephenson; not too esoteric, with lots of action and exotic locales to keep a new reader's interest. I enjoyed it as being fiction that I could read at the end of the day to unwind. It started with a thieving troll in an online MMORPG and takes a left turn into jihadists. Decent non-white female characters are a welcome find; arguably the main character is an Eritrean-American woman. Not life changing, but an enjoyable read.
