I've never read it and when I saw it at the used book sale at the Denver Public Library, I knew I had to pick it up and finally read it. Ender's Game is awesome. I never bothered with any of the sequles, but I loved the original. I just started Ringword, by Larry Niven. I'm enjoying it so far.

Charles Stross, The Atrocity Archives, after being recommended by a friend. So far, he's really captured the feel of working at a low level in the British Civil Service.

Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
It's been a while since last I read this, and I'm finding this read-through much more interesting than previous ones.

 Re: What are you reading now? Provide links PLZ
My reading of Insurgent by Veronica Roth was abruptly stopped because someone took the book out of the library. I'm also reading The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett. I haven't read it in ages, and it's not quite as funny as the last time I read it.  I am, in general, far less likely now to laugh at Pratchett stuff than I was 4 years ago. This saddens me. And I'm working my way through Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. It's quite good so far, but I'm finding that the plot doesn't kick in as quickly as I normally like.

I am reading The Foundation Trilogy, and listening to Infected by Scott Sigler. It has me scratching at itches like crazy.

I'm picking up my copy of The Canterbury Tales where I left off and reading bits of it during my break at work. Its writing style is the kind I can only tolerate in small doses.

I just finished off Young Lovecraft, which was pretty entertaining, and I'm about to start either Feed, or The Kingdom Beyond the Waves.

Finished Ender's Game---can't praise it enough. Now onto New Cthulu, at least for a week or so--I love anthologies 'cause you can pick 'em up and put 'em down. Plus it will fill my head with flavor as I finish writing and then running my Realms of Cthulu games at the local Con.

 Re: What are you reading now? Provide links PLZ
Just had my Birthday, and my Mom got me a copy of Godel, Escher, Bach, a book my brother has been trying to get me to read for years. I'm about 60 pages in and it is so awesome it actually gave me a headache considering the concepts ^.^ I highly recommend it for anyone interested in reality.
