Ender's Game is fab, you'll love it! Have you read the Robin Hobb's Ship of Magic and Fool's Errand?

Also, has anyone read Life of Pi? Amazing novel which won the Man Booker prize, totally psyched for the film.

Yep, heard of them, haven't read those ones yet, are the 'Fool's Errand' books about The Fool from Farseer Trilogy? That'd be epic
I've head nothing by praise for Ender's Game. Are the other books any good though?

(Wow, I just looked up the series, much bigger than I expected! D: )

It is indeed! Yeah the Ender's Game universe is just that, there's like 30 novels/novellas plus comics.

^Seems just like Star Wars then XD
Anyone know why 50 Shades of Grey is suddenly so famous? See it everywhere, people on the trains reading it D:

50 Shades of grey is one of the most stupid books I have ever read and I can't understand why it is so popular having read it. There is literally nothing good about it, maybe people read it to find out what all the fuss is about. That's why I read it.

Perhaps we can ask ninas opinions on the trilogy?

[ninwa]

stfu baby spice go eat some glitter

I still haven't read it... I'd like to, just out of curiosity, but I just got a new kindle and do not want to taint my new baby with that rubbish

someone at my work was selling it last week... need to find a new job, obviously

[Russ]

Might I remind you that we had a deal!

[JellyDonut]

^LOL, oh man

Ender's Game was fantastic. No other way to describe it. Reminds me so much of Whose Reality

[paulsterio]

If you like Ender's Game you have to read Ender's Shadow - it's not a sequel, but a parallel, told from Bean's point of view.

It! Is! Amazing!!
2/3 of the way through it, gosh, so much fun!

[DisaFear]

Just munched my way through this one, as good as ever (though last books always get a bit funny)
Sense of humour, top-notch as usual

Definitely recommend if you follow Artemis Fowl. And if you don't, get on it, best decision you'll make in your life

[charmanderp]

Artemis Fowl :') Seeing this series come full circle is amazing, I remember reading the first few novels in grade 3 or 4.

On that note, is/was anyone else an Animorphs fan?

3 Books that are on my reading list:

Peter Carey - Collected Stories [I've heard so many whack things. "I wanted to fuck her until the pool was full of horses"
Watership Down - Richard Adams
Farenheit 451

Anybody know what book was written from the perspective of a bat, which has a really funny one-liner in it that goes something along the lines of "But of course you wouldn't be able to speculate any of this because you would be a bat"? It's pretty famous, I just don't know the author / name of the book
