Huzzah!

What's he reading?

Posted by cmc (Member # 9549) on :

I like parties. I'll bring the hummus and dipping stuff.

What isn't he?! Mwa ha! So far he's read the Ender series, Enchantment, and he's working his way through the Shadow series. He really isn't even a reader, but I started reading to him aloud while he was working, and he ended up finishing most of the books himself. (Much to my dismay, I was not there during the revelation that Ender's games were real.) So this is a big deal. It isn't just a love of OSC or even Sci-fi that he's developed, but a love of reading fiction.

This is huge, people.

We're working our way up slowly to the "weirder" books. I'm not sure where to go next.

That sounds delightfully insane. Not too much mania, with just the right amount of lost sanity.

I try whenever possible to get my friends to read Ender's Game. If I see it cheap at a used book store, I'll buy it so I can give it away.

Ha. He's a die-hard lurker.
