I have not read "50 Shades of Gray"...

[kmoney]

Okay...I need to start reading the HP series. Mostly because bybee said it was worthwhile. Can't trust the literary opinion of someone who may have read the Twilight series.

:mock:kmo

Look at what you've done, anna! :IA:

:noid:

But you should check them out. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

I read it a few years ago. I liked it. How far into the series are you? What do you think so far?

I'm a couple chapters in book 2. I've enjoyed it so far. More than I thought I was going to. I've heard some things on what statements Collins was attempting to make and I'm trying to figure out if I see the same thing. I think it will become more clear as I get farther in this book.

Are you more of a Twilight woman?

I am a Greet the Dawn kind of woman.

 

[Sherman]

Same here--I am an early bird.

Not sure what you consider classic sci fi, but I just finished Ender's Game. I loved it. Great story and well told.

I cannot wait for the movie!
(And yes, it is old enough, and the author is established enough, to be classic sci-fi.)

Have you read the rest of the series? They are good, but not as good as Ender's Game.

And I had fun doing it, too.

Thanks for the reference. I don't think I've read "Ender's Game" if not, I shall!

Read it, well worth it.

You are correct in that the quality of the rest of the series dropped off.

I'm going to visit the book store after church today to purchase "Ender's Game.
I love book stores and the library. The smell of books is intoxicating to me.

I am hoping the movie is good. It is a good story and should translate into a good movie, but you just never know.

As far as the rest goes, I didn't know about the rest of the series, which tells me that you are right in you assessment of the quality of the rest of the series.

There used to be a bookstore on the edge of downtown Falmouth MA that was old and wonderful, floors were old wooden and creaky. Closed 15 + years ago.

I wanted to read that book but I struggle to read works written by complete morons.

I just bought the book. It has been recommended to me by several people none of whom qualify as morons.
I may let you know what I think of the book when I have finished it.

You know, even L. Ron Hubbard has written some very good sci-fi, and he was about as moronic as you can get.

Yes! I couldn't help myself I read Dune!

And he still managed to start one of the top 20 religions in America. lain:

Scientology is an interesting case study on what people will believe. lain:


I don't think I could even name 20 religions in America. :liberals:

I've started to read "Ender's Game". I'm quite certain I shall not stop until I've finished it!
And there are more books!
