That is probably my favorite button on Amazon.

That IS a nifty button,but my favorite is the 'submit order' link. A close second has to be the 'add to wish list' button. :flowers:

I checked out Michael Connelly's The Narrows and The Closers from the local library. I'm hoping to get Ender's Game before the end of the week.

I am one the few readers who did not enjoy Ender's Game. I hope you like it.

I am almost afraid to ask, but: why?

Tai_Mai_Shu, Ender's Game is a fabulous read. It would be one of the top 5 books I would recommend to someone wanting SciFi.

Well...I just could not get into it spark. I just did not favor it. And I know that I stand in the minority. I might (likely not) give it another go sometimes in the (distant) future.

Maybe I am not the Sci-Fi type. I don't know.

Maybe I am not the Sci-Fi type. I don't know.

I'm not big into sci-fi/fantasy either (I think I may only like it in graphic novel form)... I've tried many and have completed only two books in those genres: Ender's Game and LotR: Fellowship of the Ring. And really enjoyed Ender's Game.

Great book. Did you pick it up from the positive reception it received in the Genre Swap?

Yes, actually. My keen eyes and fingers are always at the ready for good reads, wherever I can find them.

It looks fascinating.
