I'm only as far as the car in the swimming pool, and it's dizzying fun. And I now understand why the Baroque Cycle books are shelved in SF/F. :-) I am glad to hear that I'll get a little breathing space, though, further in.
I got about 250 pages into Quicksilver before I realized my head was conflating it with His Invention So Fertile (Christopher Wren biography I'm also reading) and this paper on Turner's connections with the Royal Society I picked up as a London souvenir that I was also reading, and I had to stop and stick with the non-fiction to get stuff straight in my head.
I stalled out in Cryptonomicon as well, but that was more just a mood thing.
