So, here's a list of my favorite books and authors. For the most part I tend to stick with fantasy, but I do read scifi or historical fiction on occasion.
My Top Ten Favorite Books
1. Ender's Game
by Orson Scott Card
Summary: [from amazon.com]
Intense is the word for Ender's Game. Aliens have attacked Earth twice and almost destroyed the human species. To make sure humans win the next encounter, the world government has taken to breeding military geniuses -- and then training them in the arts of war... The early training, not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games'... Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses; he wins all the games... He is smart enough to know that time is running out. But is he smart enough to save the planet?
Review:
I absolutely loved this book. I'd seen this book a few times at B&N in the kids section, but the cover was kind of hideous, then I was reading one of my sister's teen magazines and some singer mentioned that this was their favorite book, so I thought I'd give it a try. Thankfully the adult paperback is much easier on the eyes. Anyways, I think I ended up finishing it the first day I started reading it. I really liked it because not only is Ender adorable, but the story is amazing. It's kind of deep and really makes you think.
