I started reading This Is How by Augusten Burroughs last week. It's ok. Not really like anything else he's ever written. I usually eat his books up in an instant but this one is taking a while. I'm waiting for it to get funny but I don't know if that will happen. Now I know to read the description of the book before I buy it rather than just assuming I will love it because I love everything else the author has written.
The Madness of Adam and Eve sounds really interesting. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it when you finish it.

"Chances Are", a book on probability and popular misconceptions of that topic.

--- Quote from: smack that isaiah on 11 May 2012, 20:39 ---You both ought to go out and read Ender's Shadow now. I loved that book to pieces. It runs parallel to Game, telling the story of Bean. I prefer it to Game by a good order of magnitude or two. I read both of them when I was in 6th grade. To sort of portray how amazing both books are: I picked up Ender's Game and was so enthralled I finished it in 3 days--skipping my favorite TV shows, losing sleep, finishing meals very quickly, etc. Then, I got Ender's Shadow and I finished it in 2 days--I was so much more into the whole everything of that story (partially cause I had already read Game, partially because it's just freaking amazing) that I finished it more quickly despite it being longer.
(Also, IMO, Ender's Shadow and the whole Shadow series feels like a much more appropriate sequel and follow up to Ender's Game than Speaker for the Dead and the rest of the Ender series were)

I second all of this. As much as I loved Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow was just spectacular. I read both about every year or so heh. Just one of those mindless books I can blow through and enjoy, and pick up different things each time.
Right now I'm reading Rant by Palahniuk. A bit hard to follow because of the writing style, and I have no idea what it's about, as usual, but again, as usual, enjoying it immensely.

I would actually suggest reading Speaker for the Dead. It's a very very very different book from Ender's Game, but it's probably the best sci-fi Card has written. Just... don't bother reading Xenocide or Children of the Mind. Pretend they don't exist.

I actually just started reading The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. Its turning out to be kind of interesting! :-)
