newnumber6: Ghostly being (Default)

Tomorrow I should finish Downbelow station. I've looked over my bookshelf and, with the exception of a couple huge hardcovers I don't want to lug around on my day from hell, I don't have any books I haven't read. So, I'm going into rereads. Now, I've narrowed it down to the following three (all three are more or less 'comfort books', oddly enough, and ones I can read again and again.. and have, at least 3 times for each).

Alas Babalon, by Pat Frank (mid 50s post-nuclear war survival tale)
Jumper, by Stephen Gould (novel about a teenager who discovers that he, apparently alone in the world, can teleport anywhere he's ever been, and how this changes his life)
Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card (super-intelligent children trained in the art of space warfare).

So, I'm opening it up to a vote! Unless, of course, you all vote one way and I decide I don't want to read that after all and decide on something else (although right now I'm not set on any).
I'll choose tomorrow morning before I leave.

ENDER'S GAME!!!
I've read that book seven times, you need to catch up.

Catchup!

No, I said I've read all of them _at least_ 3 times. And I think that's mainly cause I've only read Alas, Babylon 3 times. Jumper I've read about 5 I think. Ender's game's even more than that, but I'm not sure the exact number.

I think I've only read Ender's game twice, and that was quite enough. I vote Alas Babylon, but only because I've never read that one. ;)

Time to use that library card, Kirk!

Library Card? bleh.

no, I'm obsessive, I hate libraries, I need to own books I read. That way I can read them again any time I want.
