Just finished reading Ender's Game..
Overall the story was well written... but there were so many points throughout the book, I just wanted to throw the damn thing away. It was like blah blah blah... (I can't believe how many books are in this series and the fact that some of the later books return to the Battle School made me want to hang myself)
Sigh... I don't know whether I like this book or not. Well.. I do but fuck.... I don't know how it got such legendary status, that's all.
But thanks for recommending it to me. It was my first read in Sci-Fi and got me into reading after so many months.

Since you read Ishmael Beah's memoir I'm guessing you may like Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. Has some to do with developing nations however it is no where near as violent. It covers more of a global scale and US dominance compared to A Long Way Gone were it focuses on one boy in one messed up country.

Try some of Darren Shan's series books:
Cirque du Freak series
or
The Demonata series.

Ed Park - Personal Days
Author's an acquaintance of mine. Great nerd.
Chronicles of office life within a company that is destined to fail. HILARIOUS shit. Like "The Office," but in print. And better.
Read read read.
|
Joseph Heller - Catch 22
Definitely worth a read in my view.
|
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving ... my fav book.
|
Umberto Eco's Foucalt's Pendulum
-Friends attempt to make a conspiracy theory for fun.
Stephen King's Dark Tower Series
-Considered his magnum opus. It tells a story of a asshole of a protagonist, Roland, who travels across worlds.
+ Show Spoiler +Possibly Khaled Hosseini's Kite Runner
