I've yet to take more than two days to read Ender's Game. Not much time to devote, and definitely worth it!

I just read The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. I highly recommend this book to those who haven't read it. I had to read TKA for my history class, it's about the Civil War. Read it in 2 nights cause I couldn't put it down. I don't normally read for fun, but I have been thinking about picking up Gods and Generals which was written by Michael's Son, Jeff Shaara.

I've read Enders Game before. I had to read it as a 9th grade summer reading assignment. Didn't really like it, probably cause I didn't understand it. I was 15 and it was summertime, didn't really give the book a chance. Might go back and read it again sometime though.

A couple of you seemed to like The Da Vinci Code, what's it about? Anything I should read before picking it up?

on a non-fiction note: I've also just finished reading "The Tipping Point." There is a very good reason why this was a NY Times Bestseller-- it's quite eye-opening.

interesting your view this way... I feel the opposite.. Fountainhead is one of my favorite reads, and I could never get Atlas Shrugged going...
