I love Ender's Game. Speaker for the Dead was even better. I'm wondering if I should try some Philip K. Dick or maybe give Iain M. Banks another try. I'd also like to read some Octavia Butler at some point. Have you read her before? If so, do you like her books?

Oh that's great! I definitely will check those out. It's been several years since I read the book. I haven't read any other Dan Simmons since and have been wanting to read more of his stuff.

I'm actually a little embarrassed of this review. It's one of my earlier reviews before I really knew how to write them. I'm still not that confident when I write reviews and rarely blog anymore!

What other sci-fi would you recommend? I need to give some more a try.

I've done the vacation and read the 20 books. I am going to take the administrator exam very soon. I'm studying for it now. How about you? Have you completed anything on your list? I need to go in and update mine. The cheek biting I'm working on. One side is healed...the other I am still biting. So bad. I got in trouble with my hygienist at the dentist's office!

I felt the same way. When they were flying through the air (or possibly sliding down something...it's been awhile) for pages and pages, I got a little irritated. I think a good 100 pages could have been cut out of the book and it would have been really good. I still like the series overall and really enjoyed the book. I'm glad you pressed on! It was worth it for me.

I'll probably get there at some point. I just haven't hit that point yet. My reading year has definitely improved since this book though. Now I just need to update my blog!

You and me both. My reading year got much better after I finished this book! Haha!

I just wasn't a fan of this book. I know several people who really enjoyed it. Iris from http://irisonbooks.wordpress.com really enjoyed it I think. You might want to check out her review. This just wasn't my cup of tea.

It's been several months since I read this and now I realize I need to go back and read it again because I've forgotten some of the stories. I'm glad you enjoyed it. This was one of my favorite books this year (well, so far since there is still 3 months left in the year). To me, it was a non-stop ride of fun.

I loved all the little details. I need to go buy a paper copy of the book. I have the Kindle version and found that I prefer reading non-fiction in paperback. Are you going to read his new book, The Violinist's Thumb? That's on my shortlist of books I want to read. Of course, I probably won't get to it for awhile. My TBR is so long!

I will head over to your blog now to look at your review. :)

I miss our conversations too, Iris! I am going to try to be a better blogger this year, check Twitter more often, and keep up with all the amazing people I've met through blogging. Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel so wowed by them. I hope all is well with you too, and I plan on doing your Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell read-a-long in February/March! Will be so great to reconnect!
