Oh come on man, PIHKAL? You've got to be kidding me! That's like saying you found reading the dictionary interesting. PIHKAL is boring as hell. It's a reference text with some stories at the beginning.

No, I'm not kidding you.  It's pretty helpful when you're shopping for research chemicals.  :pill2:  And yes, I also find the dictionary interesting.  :grin:

Dreamer, some of the books you listed are my favorites, also. My son had to read Enders Game in junior high school. I was bored one day with nothing to read and picked it up just out of boredom. Excellent book, and I bought the sequel when it came out. Has the third come out yet?

White Oleander was excellent, all Ann Rice books are excellent. I love intelligently written books. There's a series of books by Susan Howatch that are very, very good.

whoa crazy, after making that list i went and read enders game again.
I think its a chopped up version of the original. Only like 50 pages. My friends described the version they read as being alot longer and more involved.
haven't read enders shadow.
if you dug enders game you should check out that 7th son.

Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.
