I love Ender's Game. One of my favorites of all time.

Anybody read The War Against the Chtorr series by David Gerrold? Love that. Waiting for the fifth book for the last 6 years or so.

David Brin is one of my favorite authors too. Startide Rising and The Uplift War are wonderful.

The best autobiography I ever read was Surely Your Joking Mr. Feynman by Richard Feynman. The guy was a super genius and absolutely hysterical!

I've also read A Brief History of Time a couple of times :D And everything Carl Sagan ever wrote is amazing.

Feynman is someone I wish I could have met. When I get asked that stupid question about who I would want to meet if I could meet anyone throughout history, I usually say him. For one thing, a lot of people don't know who he is, which is good because it's a stupid question. Second, the guy just didn't put up with stupid people and stupid questions like that. I highly recommend the book. It's short and light and can be read in a day.

I also recommend Ex Libris, Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman. Anybody who thinks they are a member of the grammar police should read this. And anyone that thinks reading books is one of the greatest joys in life should read this.
