I'm not sure why everyone is dissing the Twilight books. I read them when the darlets were reading them. (before all the hoopla) They're light reading, but reasonably entertaining.
What? Everyone else is reading War and Peace?

By the bye, of the Ender books I've read, I like Speaker for the Dead the best.

 Any reading is good. I was the girl who never got into Wrinkles in Time, though highly recommended by friends. Then again, I was highly entertained when reading The DaVinci Code. I think for a lot of us it isn't so much the genre as it is the writing...so I might even take up some recommendations I've seen in this thread.
