Hmm, I'm going away for a vacation of relaxation (unlike unassigned territory) and I will have about a week to do whatever I like. Do you think I should read a book or two of this series? Where do I start? (by the way, Ian has gotten me interested in a number of books already, and I trust his picks)

Definitely read Ender's Game. feel free to borrow it. from the library! OHHHHH. haha, just kidding, you can borrow mine.

lol, "oh, you". I think you just got me really excited about reading this book. Thanks, bro, we'll figure out when to do the exchange. (you get either nothing or my book "the relik" in exchange for my borrowing your books. Yay. Sounds good, huh? btw, I never read "the relik")

oh, I guess I should explain something. When I say that Ian has gotten me interested in a number of books...well, that number is 2. He got me to read "the princess bride" which was great. I loved learning more about the characters from the book--for instance, just how GOOD is Inigo Montoya at sword fighting? Or, how did Westley become the farm boy? I also got hooked on "the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy" but I only suggest reading the first. It ends quite awkwardly, but the whole book is hilarious. But the sequel gets old really fast. I can't even imagine reading the other 3 books in that series. Nonetheless, I still loved the first book, and I do suggest it to anyone and everyone. I guess this comment almost deserves it's own thread, but oh wellllll.

what? the entire series is fantastic. if you haven't read the section about biometric security, you're missing out.
