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.

I don't do ebooks, but thanks.

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.

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.

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.

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)

1. Goosebumps
2. Some other Goosebumps
3. Another Goosebumps classic
4. Dr. Dredd's Wagon of Wonders
5. Goosebumps, one of the ones where you pick your destiny.

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

A lot of the movies are kinda silly,I think the books are much better.

This.

I was merely offering a rebuttal to those who would boycott the book/movie.

HP Lovecraft was a huge racist and mysoginist. I don't discount the literary works because the guy who wrote them is a complete douche.

Try a couple of Corey Doctrows books. You can download them for free on his website. Try Little Brother or The Makers

Enders Game is good. I would have grabbed it at half price books myself. The author is under a lot of fire right now because he his very anti gay marriage.

I have not read one Stephen King book. Not sure why, especially since I like several of the movies based on them. Just never had the desire to read one...

Start with I think Different Seasons... Has 3 movies from it.

Apt Pupil, Stand by me and the Shawshank Redemtion.. The other story in the book sucks but 2 of them are great.

Stand by me is called "The Body" in the book.

I do like Mark Twain, Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy, and have read several of each of their books, but didn't read those type of books until the last decade.
