Just read Enders Game in one sitting.

NEED MORE BOOKS IN SERIES

There's only a couple dozen

I read a bunch of them. Not sure why, because they really don't get better.

Ah that makes me sad.

[/quote]Fuck him, read them anyways. Make up your own mind. I thought Ender's Shadow in particular was pretty clever.

<3 Kirby, though.

I remember when I read books.

I enjoyed pretty much everything by sir Terry Brooks. Call it entry level fantasy but I had a good time with those. That was back in middle school, shit.

And of course Calving and Hobbes is always timeless.

I haven't legitimately read a book in a very long while, though I may try and find something by Baudelaire that's manageable.

To change things up completely, I'm going to suggest Game of Thrones.  The book, not the hbo series. 

I'm going to suggest both.  The show absolutely does the book justice.

I'm going to have to wait for the show to finish, and then the Hadji shops will be selling the entire thing for $5.

I've been learning a lot about Dickens from Drood.

Prordered Dance With Dragons. I'm nervous 'cause the reviews said it was like Feast For Crows and that was the worst book by far (Also my copy of AFFC is like 200 pages shorter than Storm of Swords and it has 50% bigger font and double spacing. Is GRRM's editor in 8th grade?)

Samuel L. is the second best thing about the book. The first is how pre-publishing piracy buzz made the book as successful as it has been: Hitting #1 on Amazon with no official promotion.

[spoiler]Except it redeems itself by the end since Cersei finally gets what's fucking coming to her. (and I stop seeing Jaime as a douche since he finally realizes Cersei is a stupid cunt.)[/spoiler]

Powell's Books in Portland is fucking amazing.  Floor to ceiling bookshelves over an entire block, and all them extremely cheap.  Managed to restrict myself to buying three books.

Fixed that for you. It's an awesome place to hang out in and you'll find a good deal once in a while, but back in the nineties they were actually cheap with 50 cent paperbacks. Also I didn't know you were in Pooooortland ho

I posted in the going away thread.  No one responded but Vandam.  And while shit wasn't ridiculously cheap it was nice to pay $8 when it'd be $20-30 in any chain bookstore.

Finally.

Finally.

Got mine on my Kindle earlier today

[Maxon]

Only on Game of thrones myself, though I bought that sweet 4 book set of it, so I got reading material for a LONG time, especially with the other one just released, heh.

[Moosendoo]

I'm almost done with A Storm of Swords right now (oh god this book owns) and I'm going to try and blaze through Feast as fast as possible because my kindle came in today (best early birthday present evar) and I bought ADWD for that.
