![[image loading]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l79w9gGOwd1qaouh8o1_400.jpg) I've read it 3 times now i think. It has definitely changed the way i view life in general and was very helpful for my job aswell. The author is full of himself but if you can get past that it's a great read | ||

I think they're much more like what you're looking for than Speaker and its sequels (which weren't good at all). Speaker and its sequels are some of my personal favorite books, it's just nothing like Ender's Game and thats what everyone is expecting going into them. Of course people that aren't into that kind of book go into it expecting something completely different so it gets a bad reputation and I completely understand that. | ||

![[image loading]](http://withfriendship.com/images/d/15652/in-flowers-for-algernon.jpg) Great book. I first read the synopsis and was hooked, promised myself to read it soon. A friend said that she cannot stand incompetence (she is intelligent). I feel the same at times but I suppose you need patience with everyone. Decided to finish this through in one sitting. It is very very good. Reminds me of what Coleridge said: It takes a good poet (in this case author) to remind you to the many things in life we take for granted. (OWTTE) | ||

Right now I am re-reading "The Best of Cordwainer Smith" and these stories are such marvels. I have no clue what to read next, It feels as though I've read every good sci-fi out there, read all Hugo winners, all Nebula winners, and I am feel I am in the dark.  | ||

Last read: Joker One - A Marine Platoon's Story of Courage, Leadership, and Brotherhood ![[image loading]](http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/34360000/34369554.jpg) A pretty good read about Donovan Cambell a Platoon Commander in Ramadi (Iraq) during 2004. I found it a refreshing change from the typical military memoir which normally throw you head first into the action without much back story for the author or the characters he meets or is affiliated with. Joker One touched upon the raising of his platoon before going on tour and is a very well paced and gripping story. Although it is noted as being a book that touches on faith in combat, there is very little mention of it apart from the odd group prayer after patrol/casualty sustained. So it doesn't come across as obtrusive for us secular folk. Currently reading: Duntroon - The Royal Military College of Australia 1911 - 2001 ![[image loading]](http://fineprintbooks.com.au/images/pics/72072.jpg) & Loyalty and Service - The officer cadet school Portsea ![[image loading]](http://regimental-books.com.au/shop/bmz_cache/i/images/loyalty-and-service-the-officer-cadet-school-portsea-RB06138-generic-132x175.JPG) Any Australian, New Zealander (or from our local region) who is interested in one of our regions main officer training streams, or anyone contemplating a commission in any of the services (irrespective of country) should find both these books highly educational. Next to read: The Australian Army by Albert Palazzo ![[image loading]](http://www.army.gov.au/ahu/images/AustralianArmycover350.jpg) This book details Australia's defense policies and army structure, and how they were shaped by both the political and civil climate throughout our countries history. | ||

![[image loading]](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DHjMqTKgLFI/S7mSUgS69GI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/Y1Qr9G9hdTs/s1600/agameofthronesbcover.jpg) Game of Thrones - Amazing. Can't believe I avoided this series for long, Watched the first season of the TV series as well, thought it was pretty well done. Had so many emotions go through me when reading as well which like....never happens. I seem to really get attached to these characters. + Show Spoiler + Overall I would probably say Arya is my favorite. Fuck Joffrey though, little prick. Don't think I ever wanted a character in a story to die as much as him :S Reading Now: ![[image loading]](http://www.boomtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/clash2.jpg) A Clash of Kings - Only about 100 pages into it, so far so good. Reading Next: ![[image loading]](http://i.neoseeker.com/boxshots/Qm9va3MvRmFudGFzeQ==/a_storm_of_swords__frontcover_large_ztjy0BG6k7VtK6n.jpg) A Storm of Swords - Planning to continue the series after. | ||
