    When I see Bo Fowler's picture all I can think of is The Clashes "All Lost In the SuperMarket"

    I'm going to start Ender's Game on my kindle fire when i get it in a couple weeks :twisted:
    Just finished Ender's Game. I read it for work, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

    Why did you have to read it for work? Are you an English teacher?

    For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemmingway
    Interesting side note: I borrowed this book from my mom and it was printed in the 40's and is censored.

    That is crazy!
    If I recall from when I read (some 20 years ago) they talk of 'moving the earth' during sex description. I wonder if those parts will be in your copy.

    It's funny, it uses words inserted into the text such as "un-namable" and "obscenely"...it also trys to add the same suffixes as the originally intended text too. It's quite wierd and caused me to double-take when I first noticed it. I just read through a sex scene, will have to go back and re-read it to see if catch anything.

    I love these books. I didn't read them in order at first, I bet that helps a lot.

    I am currently reading Juliet Naked by Hornby. I am really enjoying it so far and I think that just about anyone on this board would too. Edit: Removed that last link, it was full of spoilers. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/juliet- ... 1100316228

    Yes, I am a teacher. I work with kids that are home schooled. I just gave the book to my son to read. He is 3 chapters in and enjoying it so far.

    I love this book so much. One of my absolute Nick Hornby favorites. I bet I babble on about how great it is somewhere in this thread. Everybody here should read it, don't you think?

    I agree, it makes me think of this place a lot. I'm reading it with my husband and he keeps looking at me when he is reading it. I keep arguing that I am not that crazy/obsessed. :D

    I liked Knots and Crosses and now I'm curious how Rankin will develop the characters in the future books... He's definitely on my reading list.

    Starting another new author.... George Pelecanos' A Firing Offense

    I'm starting with his first as I have read he does have recurring characters/themes in his books. I like finding so called "easter eggs" in books from previous titles. Somehow I have never got into Stephen King, as I have read he does this very often, embarrassing I know. :oops:
