So even though I see him mostly (hours on end) playing computer games, watching videos, reading forums, Sykping with his friends or 2 to 3 of these items at once, he never leaves home without his ereader. Off the top of my head he has read the following (some multiple times): The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan The Redwall series by Brian Jacques The 6 Halo books by Eric Nylund(3), William C. Dietz(1), Joseph Staten(1), & Tobias S. Buckell(1). Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan He tried to read Artemis Fowl but could never make it past the first few chapters, just wasn't his cup of tea. Some of these he was introduced to at school then sought them out, others he ran across while on the computer and others I mentioned to him when he asked for a suggestion. I mention these because he loves to watch the War documentaries from all ages and thoroughly enjoys the topic, yet he reads virtually anything. I would second Starship Troopers (a much better book than a movie) this was to be Robert Heinlein's 13th book in what are referred to has his Juvenilles Collection that Scribner's published between 1947 and 1958, but Scribner's rejected it in 1959. He took it elsewhere and it won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1960. Also I think Ender's Game (another award winner, both the Nebula 1985 and Hugo 1986 awards for best Novel) is an excellent choice. |
