Zodiac - Neal Stephenson

Finished reading Stephenson's (1988) Zodiac this weekend. It was weird, to say the least, and definitely seemed less mature than other works of his that I've read (not surprising, it's his 2nd book, written before Snow Crash). It's the tale of S.T., a nonviolent ecoterrorist who brings polluting companies to justice by zipping around on his Zodiac (high-powered motored raft) plugging up waste pipes in the Boston Harbor and exposing the offenders to media ridicule. A quick and easy read, not one I'd necessarily recommend.

Book Challenge 2014 stats: 15/65 (23%), 11 books behind schedule. (Although I've now read 2 more books thus far in 2014 than I did in all of 2013!)
