loved the ending to Black House.  Makes me wonder about yet another DT themed book involving Jack Sawyer.

[spoiler]would be great to see Jack entirely in the Territories for a full novel[/spoiler]

I just finished the 800+ page biography of John Lennon. It\'s "John Lennon: The Life" by Phillip Norman. It doesn\'t portray him as John Lennon "The God" but as a regular human being (musical genius mixed in) with flaws and dick moves and all the bad and good stuff that makes him so interesting.

It is written on an even keel and I like that, not in favor or against him-just stating facts that were available to the author. Yoko Ono originally had given permission to have the book written, read the final draft and said that the author was mean to John and that she wouldn\'t endorse it. There\'s also a postscript by Sean Lennon. If you have the stamina to make it through, it\'s definitely worth the read.

I read every book ever written already, that\'s why I don\'t have anything current to contribute to this thread. sorry

thread from the dead!!!

I\'ve been plowing through books lately, in the last few months I\'ve read Orson Scott Card\'s Ender\'s Saga (Ender\'s Game, Ender in Exile, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind) Ender\'s Shadow series (Ender\'s Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets and Shadow of the Giant) Chuck Palahniuk\'s Snuff, Stephen King\'s The Talisman, and I\'m finishing Black House now. Which I really like btw, knew it was Dark Tower involved but didn\'t realize how deeply and blatantly.  

I was thinking of reading Hearts of Atlantis or Chuck\'s new book which just came out or is coming out soon, Pygmy.  But I also kinda want something entirely new and fresh.  Any recommendations?   I\'m a big fan of series and sagas, but I basically just love a good story.


Since Ender\'s Game is, without question, my favourite book, I am going to comment. It\'s a great series and I think everyone should read it; but that is a common belief amoungst people and their favourite books.

I read Ender\'s Shadow before it was announced that it was part of a paralle series. I didn\'t really like it because I thought that it undercut what made Ender\'s Game so cool, and I pretty much gave up on that series after it.

It\'s been about 6 years since I last read one of those books, but if they come highly recomended, I might go out and buy them; but my backlog of books is in the dozens now.

In terms of reading the best thing that ever happened to me was my feet dragging in getting cable when i moved. One mounth w/o TV = 3 books cleared.

I really liked the Shadow series.  Not sure if you read the whole Ender saga, but I enjoyed the whole thing.  Def give them a read.  I actually really enjoyed the way the two parallel stories work together.  Just a warning that from Speaker of the Dead on the Ender saga takes place 3000 years after the events of Ender\'s Game, and Ender is in his 30\'s or 40\'s.  So the whole kid genius thing is taken away still a great read though.  I would def recommend the Shadow series, the Ender series is more philosophical, while teh Shadow series is more focused on military and political strategy.  I like the Shadow series too because you get to see what happens to all the characters you meet in EG and ES.

Give Ender in Exile a read too, it just came out last Nov.  It takes place basically between the last two chapters of Ender\'s Game.
