Just finished a book my roommate wanted me to read, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I really enjoyed it, and can't wait to run to VML this afternoon to get the next book in the series. They, or one of their branches, have them all, so I won't have to buy them. Of course, if the following books are as good as this one was, I may buy them anyway.
Then again, maybe not. I don't know if this will ever be a book that I want to reread. I kind of feel like I got everything out of it the first time.
At least I have my first series of the summer picked. Last summer, I read most of the ST: Voyager novels, and while some were amazing, some were just blah. I feel like I'm off to a good start with summer reading. I think I'll post to
bibliophilia to get some more suggestions.
Any ideas from you coolcats?

What sort of books do you like?
I love fantasy. Books I have enjoyed include Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, Harry Potter, Mercedes Lackey (valdemar and diana tregarde), John Bellairs, Robert Jordan, L E Modesitt (especially the first two Soprano Sorceress books), and Madeleine L'Engle (the Murray/O'Keefe books).
I like a lot of dramatic fiction, self-helpy type books, and I'm a complete SARK acolyte.
How about you? Do we actually have one area of different interests? Interesting thought

I read a bit of fantasy, but I haven't been an addict for years. I like sci-fi, but I haven't read it in a while. I mostly go for the type of book they have under "Reading List" at the library -- stuff by Heller, Joyce, Lawrence, Hugo, etc. I have a fondness for historical fiction that I haven't indulged recently :).
Hmm. Have you read Sabriel? I'm trying to remember who wrote it... oh, Garth Nix. It's very interesting.
