Jason Venter told me a long time ago when I wrote a review for Zone of the Enders that I should read Ender's Game, because my introduction was awful and I made a reference about the book because it had "Ender" in it and I was awfuler back then. So I took it out of the library for Spring Break.
I just finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a few weeks ago. My girlfriend bought me Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and I finished that in about three days. Then I read The Da Vinci code, which was gripping but a little annoying and now I'm reading Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk.
I never read a lot in High School, but I've been bored with games and movies lately and books provide a nice distraction. Plus when I'm bored I can pull out a book and read a lot easier than I can bust out my laptop or PS2. And games in general just aren't that exciting right now. I need a new FPS game that's as good as Half-Life 2 or FEAR and that sadly isn't happening.
When are Half-Life 2: Aftermath and SiN coming out?

In fact, it's just one of my favorite novels in general. Not to get too college-boy on you, but it's an amazing examination of politics and human ingenuity. |
