Old Books, Ender's Game, etc.

[Paolo]

I was talking about this on Skype with Slammr last night, and it got me to thinking. We were also talking about "Ender's Game" finally being made into a motion picture, which I will NOT be going to see. The book really moved me, as I was much younger and read it when it was first published. I just can't do that to myself. The sequels and the "Shadow" series failed to impress, as well, although I dearly loved Bean.

There were a lot of books I read in school, and now that Amazon takes bank draft payment, and there are tons of cheap books out there used, I went shopping. Right now, I'm remembering books I read in school and trying to find copies of them.

The first is "Hothouse," or "The Long Afternoon of Earth" by Brian Aldiss.

I also have a copy of "Rivets & Sprockets", "Iron Cage" by Andre Norton, and "Runaway Stallion" by Walt Morey. I also found a copy of "Lad: A Dog".

The memories these bring back!

So, what books do you all recall reading, way back when, and what were they?
