Yellowstone Treasures: The Traveler's Companion to the National Park
by Janet Chapple

on the Y from HaY

I keep a bunch of guide books that were given to me for the maps and intersting info about places I run across in books I read.

Ice Station Zebra is one of my very favorite movies, but I never read the book. In fact, I haven't read any of Alistair McLean's books.

Marcus Aurelius: A LIFE

by Frank McLynn

The MEDITATIONS, Marcus Aureliu' famous guide to life, remains one of the most widely read

works from the classical world. Historian Frank McLynn has written the definitive biography

of this stoic philosopher who ruled the Roman Empire from AD 161 to 180.

Marcus considered by many to have been Rome's greatest emperor found true

immortality as author of the "MEDITATIONS,"whose pithy and striking maxims--"Nothing

happens to anyone that he is not fitted by Nature to bear."--Have remained perennially

popular. MARCUS AURELIUS is a fascinating portrait of an ancient thinker with

contemporary relevance. I am looking forward to receiving this book. Fran

Dauntless
by Jack Campbell

on NetherlanD

This is the first of a 5 book Space Opera series. It's kind of clunky in a lot of ways, but the author REALLY knows how to write a good sea battle (though fought in space) and I fought my way across the galaxy with him through the 5 books, and if there are sequels, I'll fight my way back.

Jude, did you read Ender's Game"? What did you think of it?

JudeS · « **Reply #1823 on:** February 06, 2010, 05:06:38 PM »

Pat,
Enders Game was given me as a present by someone who loves Sci-Fi. I didn't read it in the end. Do you think it is worth the effort?
I liked all Asimov's Sci Fi but don't seem to be able to make my way any further than that. I like some fantasy (Actually Harry Potter) but that has an element of reality that I can attach to. What do you like about Sci Fi?

About Enders Game, Jude, I would say, try reading a chapter or two and see how it strikes you. If you like it, keep going. I have a lot of quibbles with Card, and tend to keep saying "yes, but" while reading, but I still read nonstop.

I'll answer your broader question "what do you like about Sci-Fi?", but not while I keep losing posts when the internet cuts out. Nag me unmercifully if I don't.
