I'm so tempted, and the only thing that's stopped me is Halting State is the one Charles Stross novel that just did nothing for me.  I'm an enormous fan of Stross's work, but HS just felt dumb both times I gave it a try.  The sample chapters I've read of Rule 34 have intrigued me, but not quite enough to overcome that hump.

Hehe. Opposite reaction - 'Halting State' is the only Stross novel I've read, and I enjoyed it though it took a bit to get into. I've enjoyed his short works though.

With a title like that how can I resist.  *chuckle*  I haven't finished The Jennifer Morgue yet, but I devoured Atrocity Archives. And I'm slowly but surely failing to resist the Laundry Files RPG...
