OMG Reading

[jetpack_monkey]

So. I'm reading again. Like voraciously devouring literature instead of thumbing through non-fiction. You can thank the girl I'm seeing as I pretty much got the third degree for not having read Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game." My whole "but he's an asshole" argument was tossed out the window pretty soundly.

This book is So. Awesome. And freakin' hard to put down. I was staggering around like a zombie this morning because I lost track of time reading last night. I should be through the whole thing either tonight or tomorrow.

Spurred on by this development, I went to Borders again last night to grab some more Major Sci-Fi Classics that I'd missed -- "Neuromancer" by William Gibson, "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov, and "Speaker for the Dead" by Card. I also replaced by tattered, well-read copy of "Lord of the Flies" while I was at it. Also grabbed a copy of Card's "Empire," based on a recommendation from the girl I'm dating.

I'm rather pleased by this, really.

Ender's Game is probably my favorite sci-fi novel. Either that or Childhood's End. (I am, of course, discounting any and all dystopic future fiction, because omg I have such a thing for that whole genre that it would just be unfair to all the other books if I included them in a competition like this.)

Word to that. Dystopia is like my favorite thing EVER.

oooh, Childhood's End is so good. I should reread that.

I often wonder if we share the exact same taste in books or if we just both have such catholic tastes that they overlap to a huge extent. :D
