Just my two cents :
- Everybody here should stop everything they do and jump on 'Ender's game' straight away cause it's that great
- I started , but didn't really like a song of fire and ice. I think the good guys are too dumb and get shafted by bad guys too easily.
- LOTRO, nuff said

Now about the stuf I'd like to add
- I enjoyed the Vorkosigan Saga, which is a very nice scifi epic saga about spying, space battle, biology, and handicap.
- Read Sun Tzu !
- Lovecraft. The Mountain of Madness. The Rats in the Wall. Call of Cthulhu. Herbert West Reanimator. The Color Out of Space. Best. Novels. Ever.
- Last but not least, I've been devouring lately WH40K novels. Some are very good, I especially advise to read anything Dan Abnett wrote, especially Gaunt's Ghosts. Also, Iron Storm (one shot), and good ol' Battlefleet Gothic are pure gold made paper.

About ebooks :
- A very good way to read ebook is to use Calibre on PC to convert epub, mbp, lit, rtf, html... and Aldiko on smartphone. Ultimate combo.

 

 

EDIT : Awesome thread. That changes from flamewars and blind fanboyism. Anyway, back to Dark Souls to get killed again.

Do I have to drop what I'm doing if I read the Ender's Game two decades ago?

By the way, if you liked Ender's Game I highly recomend Halo: The Fall of Reach. It's still the best of the very good Halo books.

...as long as no one recommends all the other books in the Ender series, I am fine with recommending the original.

Reading Enders shadow just after Enders game is quite interesting though.
