book request

started reading ender’s shadow before bed last night, and continued steadily throughout the unusually slow workday.

now I remember why my copy of ender’s game has almost completely fallen apart. I’ve never ventured into any of orson scott card’s other series, for the same reason I stick with lloyd alexander’s prydain chronicles – what if the author’s other work is worse? or better? regardless, I’m now accepting recommendations for further orson scott card novels I might enjoy, as well as any random books that sound interesting. for ideas what I’ve read in the past, check out my yearly reading lists.

currently checked out from the provo library: ender’s shadow, crime & punishment, the omnivore’s dilemma, and freakonomics. about 15 books on hold, including dream of reason, the kite runner, the eyre affair, and the invention of hugo cabret.

efforts to help broaden my mind by suggesting books will be duly noted and maybe even appreciated.

mikavore's dilemma

what a delight to have access to the library again! my list of books to read has grown in the past week, from about 120 to 145. I just finished neverending story and the saturdays; I’ve been reading k-pax to jarom, and we started freakonomics on the side. still plowing through crime and punishment, but I also got into omnivore’s dilemma and ender’s shadow.

it looks like it will be a great summer.
