Snowcrash: pleasantly surprised by the quality of the world building, which I love.

I have enjoyed all of his works. The Baroque Cycle took me a few tries to get into before I stuck it out; great read but man is it long and dry at times. Anathem was challenging because of the new lexicon he introduced.

My favorites are snowcrash, seveneves, termination shock, and cryptonomicon in roughly that order.
