Total Posts: 739 | I have always loved reading, becuase T.V and computers, and calculators, all, eventually, become boring. But, with reading, you can always start new books and new stories. I understand that, you have to take breaks from reading, but to me, there is nothing more satisfying than finshing a good book! Heres my top ten favorites:
1. Gone with the Wind
2. The Grapes of Wrath
3. Rebecca
4. To Kill a Mockingbird
5. Tom Sawyer
6. Go Ask Alice (More people should be reading this.)
7. Huck Finn
8. 1984
9. Shang gri lah
10. Timeline
Now . . .alot of these books . . .seem girly, or stupid. But, lot of them are classics . . .thats why I had to read them in the first place. But, I think Classics should be read more often.

I also have to replace Huck Finn with Les Miserable, I just remebered that one! Man, I love books! |

Total Posts: 958 | I heard xenocide and speaker of the dead weren't that good. I never read them though, but I heard they're very different from Ender's game (which is good, but not unique to be a classic). Ender's Shadow and Shadow of Hegemony were pretty good too, i hope that card completes the story of the conquest of earth he began in hegemony though. |

Total Posts: 1892 | I read all of the enders series, and the second book in the oriognal ender series isn't bad (I think it's speaker of the dead). But the third book in the ender series sucks, i think it's xenocide. |

Total Posts: 122 | Yeah, SfTD is good, but it just goes downhill from there. I've read all of Card's SF, but I havem't read any of his fantasy. |
