The thermometer said - 3 this morning. I don't think I've ever seen a negative on that thing. I agree on the indoor reading weather. Space heaters are wonderful things.

sci fi - Ender's Game (just the first ones...the rest get progressively worse)

Hi Cristina, I suggest trying some YA stuff. YA's a wonderful genre because generally it's shorter than adult fiction and the authors know they've gotta grab the audience pretty darn fast. Vivian Vande Velde, Haddix (selectively), and even Brandon Sanderson have some interesting YA. removed...

I enjoyed Cry of the Icemark, but I don't think that's remotely considered literature.

Hi. Yo works too :-P

Yay. Welcome. We love people who read :-) I especially like when people read a wide variety of things. I'll read most genres (except erotica, horror, and most nonfic)

Ah the old wanting what's difficult to obtain :-P What new treasures have you acquired lately?

Probably all true...but how are you going to change the hearts of the politicians and money hungry corporations?

How many books do you have that are scanned?

Eternal life on this Earth would probably be a bad idea b/c of natural resources.

Media mail is about $2.53 for a 1-2 pound book. I imagine that could get pricey.

Where are you getting them in electronic form? I thought a lot of them were out of print I still read graphic novels that are star wars...guess I just keep trying them, hoping they'll get better.
