Obviously a joke post, but I haven't been an avid reader in a while.

Fair enough.

To many people have quit enjoying a book for the simple pleasure it brings no matter the politics of the author.

**edit. From the quote I am not discounting his books. His views are his own.

To be fair, I haven't read Enders game, or one flew over the cuckoos nest. Guess I should.

I'm not much of a reader, but here are the top books I've read in recent memory, in no particular order.

Metro Girl
Deadpool Dead
In Persuit of the Unknown: 17 equasions that changed the world
X-men Civil War (volume 1)

Okay, I've put Ender's Game in my Amazon cart(along with the other 30-40 other books that regularly float around in there). If it sucks there will be hell to pay!

You can get the Ender's Game ebook for free. Hell I have the kindle version here somewhere if you want it.

I don't do ebooks, but thanks.

If I was discounting Orson Scott Card's views why would I reccomend one of his books? I am not.

Enders Game is great. Xenophobia and Speaker for the Dead not so much. I got back into the series when he started telling the story of Bean.

See I thought Xenocide, Speaker for the Dead, and Children of the Mind were all better than the first Ender's Game.

Oooooh look at this badass over here, fellas!

I guess I see where you're coming from though as I don't do emusic. Never had a problem with an ebook though -- reads just like a regular book. Only thing missing is the manual turning of a page and the smell of the paper.

Yeah I've known a lot of older guys who said that, my dad included. "I like the feel of a real book, the smell, etc..." Then they got a kindle. And it feels nice and smells nice too.

It's more of a "collector" mentality in my mind.. I have been using the Kindle for several years and much prefer it. I can get the idea of not wanting to spend comparable money to a book but not getting a tangible item. I have the same concerns about buying music from iTunes. But I don't have unlimited library space, and you don't get shit for used books, so in this case, I am fully satisfied with eBooks.

Exactly.

On a seperate note. I read Neil Gaiman's "Ocean at the End of the Lane" last night and it was pretty cool. I like his writing style.

I saw that title on B&N a few weeks ago and almost bought the e-book version. Now I'll give the book a second look.

Yeah it was a really quick easy read, but pretty awesome. Much like "The Bridge to Teribethia(sp)"

epubbud.com has it if you have an apple device

That's one of those real famous "classics" I've never read. I was planning on reading it soon.
