The Mafia: Now you've got a friend in The Family
Just finished Snow Crash last night. Great book all around: funny, lots of action, cool setting. The only flaw that I can think of is the 30+ pages towards the middle where the main character ("Hiro Protagonist." Really) does nothing but discuss Sumerian mythology with his computer. Oh, that, and the fact that the Hiro carries around a katana and a wakizashi and never uses both at once.
