213374U Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Heh. Guess I'll have to find out if I'm "hardcore" enough. Even more so considering I got both Speaker and Xenocide for 10 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Hurlshort Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I finished Speaker, but it was so tedious I never read Xenocide. Ender's Shadow is the real sequel in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Speaker for the Dead. I'm hoping it'll be as good as the first book. And for the guy who reads an average of 15 books a month... WTF? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> save yourself an afternoon, and throw speaker away now. honest. only the most hardcore osc fans like(d) speaker. HA! Good Fun! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> nah, It wasn't that bad Gromnir. not as good, and also different, but it had some suspense and stuff that i enjoyed. a while ago i started reading xenocide, then stopped, since it got boring quick and stayed that way. I agree with Hurlshot though, Ender's Shadow is the real sequel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Raven Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Seeing that we are on the subject of a great author known as J.R.R. Tolkien, I found The Silmarillion a wonderful book to read. It may seem complex at first, but after another reading or two, it is quite enlightening. My favorite part is the story of Beren and L Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Musopticon? Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I didn't like Silmarillion. It read like fantasy bible, and I didn't see the point in publishing the thing. Definetly read some "real" mythology instead. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

WITHTEETH Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The Hobbit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I read that book a couple years ago. decent, best part were the riddles in the dark i thought.

SteveThaiBinh Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 My favourite Middle Earth book wasn't the Silmarillion - in fact, it's so long since I read it, I had to go to Wikipedia to look up the title. It's Unfinished Tales, and looking through the list of tales, I remember really liking "Aldarion and Erendis" amongst others. I liked the story of Beren and Luthien from the Silmarillion, but tried once to get through the poem and didn't make it. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."
