It's called "The Salmon of Doubt" by Douglas Adams and it goes out to all of you highly recommended. in the way of the one who inspired this site I believe that "Shadow Puppets " will be next

Prentice Alvin. I decided to reread the series before tackling Crystal City. It was a good move. There's so much detail I'd forgotten in the first two books.

I think I enjoy the Alvin Maker series more than any of the others. (Note - not wanting to debate this. Others are free to have other OSC works as their favorites - I won't say they're wrong.)

Wrestling with the original Dune trilogy (Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune - All in one handy hardback) before i start on Shadow Puppets. So i will have one on my nightstand just not yet. Hmmm.... do i re-read the Thomas Covenant Chronicles or the Ender saga first? Decisions....

Just finished reading Ender's Shadow for the 3rd time and moving on to Shadow of the Hegemon. Looking forward to reading Puppets.

After that, I think I'll go back to reading the Alvin series and work my way up to Crystal City.

an den.... I'll go back to the Homecoming series.

It was only 3 weeks ago that I've rekindled my joy of reading fiction after years of not even picking up a book.

It's weird, ever since I started reading again.... i've been happier.... or content.... it's really odd.

oh... and I also have the first 3 books of the Hubbard's Mission Earth series on my night stand.

happy reading!! [Big Grin]

oh.... I've read them all before. It's just been so long since I have so I decided to go back to them.

I'll eventually get there! [Razz]

Currently near my bed is Earthborn, the last of the Homecoming series. Very good series I might add! [The Wave]

Also I have a very boring book by my bedside, but that's only for snoozing! [Sleep]

I have about 2 dozen books on my nightstand, mainly because I never move them off it once I'm done with them. Only a few are OSC books, most that should be there have fallen onto the floor, but here are the ones which are still clinging to my nightstand (I just went and checked) Ender's Game, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Children of the Mind, Seventh Son, Read Prophet, Heartfire, The Call of Earth and The Abyss.

Right now I am re-reading Shadow of the Hegemon. I re-read Ender's Game, then Ender's Shadow... only to discover that I no longer had Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. I also have Shadow Puppets, but won't read it until I have re-read the rest of the series. I had to order everything on Amazon, used.

I understand that the recent Dune books were mostly written by a ghost writer. [Dont Know]

Although I haven't got anything by OSC placed anywhere near my sleeping coordinates (other than here), there is a welcoming vacuum of dust-free surface upon which to rest, and a blank slate readership onto which might be inscribed the views of an insightful observer ("ticked off at the world I didn't create" perspectives, being the exception)

Pastwatch.

I finished it, but it's still lying there on my nightstand..

..and I might re-read it. I really liked it that much.

Do folks actually keep their reading material on a night-stand?

I just reread Enders Game today (the novel not the short story) so I think I might start rereading speaker of the dead tomorrow. I won't finish it though, as I actually have work to do.

:bump:

I know it's bad form to bump your own post, but I am curious once more what everyone is reading as they nod off. Mine is the trade paperback version of Maps in a Mirror.

I just read the Yazoo Queen story from Legends II a few days ago. It was the first (and till now the only) story I read from that compilation.
