If you're interested in reading more I'd try that one. <br /><br />farmlanebooks - I know, the cover is awful. <br /><br />Becky- Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to check it out! <br /><br />Jeanne - I've heard some crazy things about the author. I've gotten all of my copies from the library or from used book stores.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-57553629924399694162010-07-18T12:36:09.799-04:002010-07-18T12:36:09.799-04:00Did you know Ender's Game was originally marke...Did you know Ender's Game was originally marketed as SF but in the past decade was marketed primarily as YA? I love all the sequels--there's two kinds, the Speaker for the Dead series and the Ender's Shadow series. But don't buy his books unless you want some of your money to support Mormon homophobe causes. Get them out of the library.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-7818854597419375052010-07-18T11:57:23.425-04:002010-07-18T11:57:23.425-04:00I agree with you about loving books that fall with...I agree with you about loving books that fall within genres you don't really like. I have read a lot of science fiction, but am not a big fan of certain types of science fiction. You should try Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea trilogy! That's another classic you might like.Becky Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087422973163715707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-91510736430028905612010-07-17T13:31:16.270-04:002010-07-17T13:31:16.270-04:00I am not a sci-fi fan but I absolutely, absolutely...I am not a sci-fi fan but I absolutely, absolutely loved this book -- it delves into so many things and the ending alone is what makes me still think of this, 12 years after reading it!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-88005183638835871102010-07-17T09:56:38.682-04:002010-07-17T09:56:38.682-04:00Ahhh, this book is on my TBR list for some heretof...Ahhh, this book is on my TBR list for some heretofore unknown reason--I kind of feel the same way about it as you felt before reading it.
