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.

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.

Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

I 2nd
-A brave new world -Aldous Huxley
-Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
-Bringing down the House - Ben Mez..???(about card counting)

I suggest
-The Godfather by Mario Puzo (the book is very good)
-The Last Don by Mario Puzo
-The footprint of God (or God's footprint) recent fiction bestseller
-The Davinci Code was good too

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
