The Incompleat Enchanter 1 review L Sprague De Camp And Fletcher Pratt
Sphere, 1979
Not Free SF Reader
A couple of scientific types think they can work magic out, and break it down to a system of equations. It isn't that simple though, and their travel destinations go wrong, with some mirth. These stories are definitely quite entertaining.

Snow Crash (Bantam Spectra Book) 536 reviews Neal Stephenson
Spectra, 2000
An amazing, multi-faceted read
+ Great book, fun read
What an excellent book! I read this several years ago when I was still a high school student; I've read it at least four times since then. Every time I read it, I discover something new. There are a lot of issues approached in this book. It really is a gift that keeps on giving.
