I read the first ENDER'S GAME and it was a really good book. One of the very few books I picked up and read.

I have been these last two or three days busy with I.Asimov again. I finished yesterday "Foundation" and started with "Foundation and Empire" again. Just cant get enough of those (same with Lord of the Rings). Every once and a while i pick them up. You all should read I.Asimov!!! YOU ALL!!!!! Twisted Evil

I liked Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, but I didn't like anything else in the series so I stopped reading.

I'm going to have to get around to reading the Foundation series one of these days... I read the first two and they were good. Most Asimov books are good.

i thought that the first one was great when i read it but forgot how good it was after proceeding on through the sequals. he really gives you a lot to think about when reading his books. hes a bit long winded sometimes but others he makes a nice fantasy world for you.

Interesting A dscussion of Sci Fi books, aww ye budding philosophers. Cards books are good but it is really amusing that his best and most acclaimed book, Enders Game was orginally just going to be a short story to starts off speaker for the dead, but anyway he's an ok author but he allows his mormonness to shine through to often (I'm sorry mormons your religion makes no sense) especially at the end of his bean series.
But anyway Asimov is an awsome writer but there are other who should be explored as well. Everone should read Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress ( he was the guy who originally wrote Starship Troopers) Read Vonegut, addmitedly he's not a pure sci fi writer but some of his short stories are awsome. And finally read Phillip K. Dick he is the man, the suicidal super depressed man, but still the man. He wrote Blade Runner and Total Recall for petes sake

I don't like Voneguts style. I mean his storys are ok but the way they are told suck. I have read Robert A. Heinlein's "The Puppet Master " but again, not my cup of tea. Im not really into sf these days but when i was younger i read everything what was published here in Estonia (believe me, its not much). I still find I.Banks to be one of the best sf writers(unfortunately they have only translated 3 of his sf books and one of his psychological books, "The Wasp Factory")

I've read one of Ian Bank's books (Use Of Weapons) and yeah, he is a great author but Henlein is pretty good too i've never read Puppet Master but i think you should give him a second chance The Moon is a harsh mistress is one of the best books I've ever read, the real story of a libertarian Revoloution! Actually I've also sortof grown out of Sci Fi since going to college the're bigger better ideas out there than can be found in Sci Fi. But I still think that is a great place for young readers to explore new ideas and by young I'm not necesarily refering to age just experence

The book was pure gold the storyline was so good that as you read the book you felt what each person in the story felt be it pian, love, hope, joy or fear of something. I really loved how when you read it there was nothing around until you stop reading it and the other books in the series are just as good as this I think.
