Gimme suggestions for....books
 

I don't read enough and my friends don't read anything. So if you have any suggestions on any good books that I should check out, that would be helpful.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

Quick, easy read, great story, won both top sf awards, get a jump on the upcoming movie.

My first recommendation is always Ender's Game. Doesn't take long to read, pretty well written, and it's the darling book of the circles I'm in (nerdy/honors/sci-fi).

Haha... bastard.

Also: allegory for Hitler's youth. That makes it pretty cool.

The movie is going to be a blend of the Ender and Bean storylines. Hope they don't [censored] it up.

Although, last time I said 'hope they don't [censored] it up' was for LOTR; and that worked out pretty well.

Whoa there, buddy. Gotta walk before you run. That's a hell of a tough read. I would probably recommend staying away from anything you would have to read in college. Most of it is boring and only read so that smart people can have pissing contests over what big books they've read.

I've always like Peter Benchley's stuff. Great White and The Thing are good ones.
