Books You're Ignoring
 

Anything by ANY Russian and/or Polish (that's you, Joseph Conrad) author.

ANY Sci-Fi of ANY stripe.

Jane Austen (Emma can really just go ---- herself)

Oh god.

I am a compulsive book purchaser, and as a result I have somewhere between 50 and 70 books on/near my bedside tables, all of which got there because I was "about to" read them.

If you don't read Ender's Game, we can't be friends anymore.

well, shoot. OK.. I'll read it. It better not suck.

I've managed to avoid anything to do with little kids running around in otherworlds.

Twilight, or any of its derivatives, ignored.

I've been bad about reading lately, though, and have 4 books waiting...

This darn internet.

jinx even liked it. and she HATES sci fi

Get a copy of Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman
Actually it isn't kids...

I'm sure there is something I'm ignoring... must be doing a good job.

I just finished it a few weeks ago. OK, I'm a little behind on my reading.

I highly recommend it.

I also found a very short Ender series book and read it last year - it was spectacularly good. Oh - A War Of Gifts.

The guy just knows how to write.

I have a Julian May book called "Perseus Spur" that I started back before the baby was born and haven't touched since. At this point, I'm intentionally ignoring it until I forget the last few details I can remember, and then I can just start at the beginning again.

my wife was the same way with Ender's Game.

That book is fantastic.

excellent book....and he narrates it himself on audio book. (he won audible.com's award for best author/narrator) also liked American Gods and Anansi Boys by him

yep...quick but good. I'll read anything by Orson Scott Card

Yeah, I have some videos of that if you want to see. (Or, I dunno, maybe she was using a stage name.

There's a paperback edition floating around that has a preface by Card. I recommend you try to get hold of it if you can--or maybe the preface is posted somewhere separately.

Most of Card's other stuff that I've read I considered boring, creepy, or both.

What books am I ignoring? I'll have to think about. (For me "ignoring" goes beyond "they're lying around and I'm not reading them." It has to be something I'm willfully not reading that I feel I ought to.)

I have willfully ignored Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for about the past ten years. Many people have told me that I MUST read the series because I will LOVE the books. The minute someone tells me I MUST read a book, listen to a song, or watch a movie, it's pretty much guaranteed I will have nothing to do with it for at least a year.

Just be kind to the mice in the mean time. ;)

I have a certain book that I WISH I could ignore.

Unfortunately, we're having a test on it next week.

Probably the only books that I refuse to read, without even considering them, are those fluffy series romances. Not that I don't enjoy a good romance novel, but those are almost always so poorly written I just cringe.
