That's true, your opinion of Cryptonomicon alone is enough to make it true :)
But otoh tastes are perhaps more defined by fiction that fewer people like. I read reams of Piers Anthony and very early Asimov and generic fantasy, which perhaps defines me more than what genuinely good books I read. (Though I'm getting fed up with trash now :)) I know Risa shares the Piers weakness. And sonicdrift always amazes me in having read the same lesser known books: I think Hornblower and Dianna Wynn Jones, which most people are only vaguely aware of, but I can rely on her to love too :)
