Super average. Don't get the hype.

I liked it a lot, but I prefer his books without so much the supernatural theme.

In my opinion The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is his hardest book to get through (because it's more than just a story)

Well, I finished Farewell, My Darling by Raymond Chandler and I can safely say that I prefer Marlowe to Holmes.

Also, I finally read The Catcher in The Rye by J.D. Sallinger. Liked it quite bit, wish I read it during my teen years.

Now I'm halfway through For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway. It's amazing, but it's Hemingway so I already expected it.

I absolutely love The Catcher in the Rye and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Glad to see you enjoyed them too. ^_^ I think For Whom the Bell Tolls is one of my favorites by Hemingway. I enjoyed it more than his other novels, except maybe The Sun Also Rises which is also fantastic.

I finished yet friday, I may have enjoyed it more than A Farewell to Arms, but I my favourite is still The Old Man and the Sea.

Now I'm starting Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. I only read The Brothers Karamazov by him but it was amazing.

Ender's Game is such an excellent book. I think that the way that Card creates the ethical dilemmas and other important constructs in the story is really masterful. If you like that book I would definitely recommend Enders Shadow. Enjoy the read!

I finished reading All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy and before that I read Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke.

I'm going to read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I've been meaning to read this one for a while and just got a copy from my friend's dad.

After that I'll probably try to finish Cryptonomicon. I got about 200 pages into it before I ran out of steam. That book and Reamde had a lot of exposition. Nothing really essential to the plot happens until you're like halfway through the book.

How do you feel about books 2-5 versus Ender's Shadow? The beginning of book 2 seemed kind of boring and I didn't continue reading after that.

Apparently I have Big Fish lined up.

Also reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, and 7 habits of highly effective people, plus dabbling in a bunch of other books I can't recall the names of.

Personally my favourite book of his is Dance Dance Dance. I don't think 1Q84 is his best work personally, but it's still a good book.

Xenocide was probably my favourite book out of the first four that I read, yes, I liked it more than Ender's game.
