Ender's Game/Jasper Fforde

[nebraskatoronto]

Just wanted to say that I just finished Ender's Game.

I bought it for my little brother (he's 16).  I used to work in a 
book store and was looking for a good fantasy/sci fi book for him. 
The lovely sci fi geek (self described) at the store recommended 
it.  

He never read it.  What a little piss ant.

So I took it and read it myself on this board's suggestion.

I really thought it was a stand out book.  Thanks for the suggestion.

In fact I thought I'd add my own.

Might I add if you haven't checked out Jasper Fforde's books you are 
really missing out.

He's not completely sci fi ..but if you enjoy cross-genre fiction 
you'll like his hilarious novels!  

It takes place in an alternative 1985 and has to do with the inner 
workings of Jane Eyre. The lead character (Thursday Next) is female 
and so so funny.  Seriously check it out, the first book is called 
The Eyre Affair.  (and you don't have to read Jane Eyre to get 
it..but it makes it that more funny if you have).

I read the first in the series while waiting overnight at Gatwick 
for a flight home..(although sleeping in a London airport is not 
required it adds to the flavor)..so they are good friends of mine, 
these books!
