It may not be Card's best book, but it's worth reading.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Reading Pratchett's "Small Gods".

Re: What are you reading?
 

Re-reading Jack Chalker's Well World series, just started book 3, Quest for the Well of Souls. Found a website that had them as ebooks, Baen Ebooks. They carry a lot of the old SciFi books that you can't find on Amazon.

Re: What are you reading?
 

It was pretty good! You could really tell that the love triangle angle was just to cater to the teenage girl demographic, it was actually a pretty violent series aimed at adults.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Baen is a pretty good company and ebook friendly!
I like a lot of their stuff!

Re: What are you reading?
 

Last Stop This Town

It was a great book.

Re: What are you reading?
 

The Return of Tarzan. Haven't read it since like Jr. High.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Now that I'm done with school, it's time to read something enjoyable. I'm going to start The Civil War-A Narrative by Shelby Foote. I'll start with Fort Sumter to Perryville.

Just finished it up. While it was complex and confusing, it was still a great read.

There's several on my "to read" list. Not sure what I will tackle next.

I'm going to tackle Old Man's War by John Scalzi. I seem to have a thing going for intergalactic warfare.

The Stranger. Quite the unusual read.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Starting The Drop by Michael Connelly tonight.

On an aside, got one of my 9 yo olds to read Down The Long Hills by Louis L'Amour.

Re: What are you reading?
 

After reading "Run" by Blake Crouch I have moved onto more of his works. Recently I finished "Snowbound" and then "Desert Places". Ten minutes ago I just finish "Locked Doors" and read the intro to "Break You".

Desert Places, Locked Doors and Break You are a trilogy.

Seriously I have never been a fan of horror and thriller genre but all I can say is wow. This guy is seriously twisted. Every time you think you know what's coming next - you're wrong.

For those interested in his works I really recommend reading "Run" first.

His website is: http://www.blakecrouch.com/

Ron

This one was a quick read, but very good!

He states that he is very heavily influence by Robert Heinlein in the acknowledgement section. Gonna try to pick out one of his books and tackle it next :tu

EDIT: Starship Troopers seems to be the one that most people associate with Heinlein. Gonna start up on it.

This kindle is awesome. I've read more books in the last 4 months than I have read in the last 4 years.

A Dance with Dragons, the 5th book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Re: What are you reading?
 

There are many, many great Heinlein books. Too many to list but you can't go wrong with any of them.

Yeah - I haven't seen any with an outright bad review. I've just gotten into reading in the last few months and the sci fi genre is fantastic to me. He and Isaac Asimov are the 2 that i see referenced the most as "this person really influenced me". Seems like they are good ones to dive in to :)

I am a pole (and so can you)

Re: What are you reading?
 

I'm currently alternating between Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels and Ian Rankin's John Rebus novels. Both have been very good so far.

One word of caution...Lee Child's website has some sort of problem with it (virus?). If interested, look at wiki or something similar.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I Like the Jesse Stone TV movies so I got the first book 'Night Passage' by Robert Parker. 100 or so pages into it and it's great so far. Hopefully it'll be good reading on the beach Friday

Re: What are you reading?
 

The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan

Re: What are you reading?
 

Heard good things about Lee Child. Definitely on my list to try.

For a comprehensive list of fiction authors and their books, check out Fantastic Fiction. I use it constantly.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Looks like a really good resource. THanks Peter!

Re: What are you reading?
 

On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace
By LTC Dave Grossman

Another good resource is NPR's top 100 sci fi and fantasy book list.

There's also an image version that is very nice - it is a flow chart. I love flow charts :)

I have been reading Crime by Ferdinand Von Schirach, pretty cool compilation of short stories.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Wool, Hugh Howey.
It's scifi, found the first five in an omnibus for 5.99 on my kindle.I'm nearly finished with the first one and started yesterday.

You mentioning him made me remember. Looked him up - sure enough he's published another short story called "The Plagiarist". Very cool book - interesting concept.

Wool was a great set to read.

The first book in Game of Thrones... Or Fire and Ice I guess

Re: What are you reading?
 

I just started that one as well. Hard to get going as I just finished the "Joe Ledger" series from Johnathan Maberry. Those are quick, fasted paced reads. GoT starts off with a lot of details, names, places, etc. I figure another chapter or so and I'll settle into the writers style.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Finally got around to starting Stephen King’s “The Green Mile”.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Mr. Howdy seems to have a good site, stays in touch with his readers and even puts the progress on his upcoming books in percentage form.

Long live the indie writer!

Re: What are you reading?
 

The chapters really get good after a while and I'm not a big reader but I really like the book so far still on the first one now
