Hey guys I'm thinking about getting the ender book. I notice on B&N they have about 300 enders books. Is there a enders book with the original 4 storys in it? [/ QUOTE ] Not that I know of. For what it's worth, I prefer the 'Shadow' sequels to the 'Speaker' series. |

Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezreich I think. Very good, about card counters. [/ QUOTE ] Tbach, you should grab Ugly Americans by Mezrich. About Americans trading derivatives in Japan. He kind of beats around the bush some, but its fascinating. |

Re: Gimme suggestions for....books
Poker: One of a Kind, the story about Stu Unger was a great read.
Other: Anything by Chuck Palahuik is good, though I suggest Fight Club first. If you like Satire than David Sederis is pretty hysterical. If you like classics The Grapes of Wrath is my favorite. Good, quick reads: Da Vinci and Angels and Demons |
