Oh man, pretty much every fantasy novel I read

Sword Of Truth, Wheel of Time, David Gemmel's stuff, Shanarra series . . . you name it and I've probably read it. I still love it, but I try and hide it behind titles like "Infinite Jest" on my bookshelf.

+1. I've only read Anthem and Atlas Shrugged, though. I'll read The Fountainhead when I have time.

I also own John McCain's book, which I'm kind of ashamed of.

I once read a Madeleine L'Engle book that I really enjoyed. Then I realized that she wrote books aimed at basically adolescent girls. I still find that a bit embarrasing.

Haha, I thought the last Ender book, Ender in Exile was actually a good read. Not high lit by any means, but fun nonetheless. I liked all the Bean books as well. But of course, nothing can compare to Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and Xenocide. I've read those three several times, including once in Spanish.

I've read just about every book he's written besides Stonefather as it got incredibly poor reviews on Amazon and Empire as reviews portrayed it as a "right-wing rhetoric." Oh and I haven't read his books about Bible women.

No way, he wrote another Ender book? With the character Ender?

You're ******* kidding me.
