I received Ender's Game from my mother's best friend for my 8th birthday. It changed my life, and started me on my life-long love affair with sci-fi. I went from reading things by Beverly Cleary, to devouring Isaac Asimov, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, etc. Luckily, we had an amazing used book store near my childhood house, which sold paperbacks for 10 cents/piece, which for my paltry allowance ($10/month lol) in those days, was like heaven.
I think if I ever go crazy and have kids, I'll skip the Dr. Seuss, the Boxcar Children, etc, and teach them to read straight from sci-fi.
As for my last read, I just finished reading
Sharps, by
K. J. Parker. Not sure how I overlooked this author. Planning on picking up his
Fencer Trilogy next.
