A gem of a book

[Sassafras]

I can wander around a bookstore for hours just perusing the titles, always on the hunt for that hidden gem of a book sitting forlornly in the stacks.

Today I was at the Friends of the Library bookstore at the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center. I had about 30 minutes to spare before I stepped behind a cash register at Macy's.

First the cover caught my eye then I saw the author who I've loved in the past. So here (in my opinion of course) is a gem:

Latro in the Mist by Gene Wolfe

Book threads are fun and give me ideas to read next. So share your favorites.

Well to keep things science fiction (as I'm sure this community is into that ;p ) Ender's Game is a masterpiece.

Well to keep things science fiction (as I'm sure this community is into that ;p ) Ender's Game is a masterpiece.

Amon, Ender's Game an all-time favorite of mine. I just saw that they're making a movie of it.

The Algebraist is a good book. Although it can be rather repulsive at times, I've still found it fun to read.

[Anaximander]

For sci-fi, I love everything Kurt Vonnegut put his hands on. "Sirens of Titan", "Slaughterhouse-Five", "Timequake".

In general, my favourite two books are Haruki Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore" and Gabriel García Márquez' "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

I'm currently reading Tom Wolfe's "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" but I haven't made it very far. All of these are good reads.

The only books that have ever really grabbed me and kept me reading are those from the Discworld series. They're some really great reading.

I'll just drop an extreme heavyweight into this discussion.

Foundation series, Isaac Asimov. I've been re-reading them a little, and they're still awesome.
