Want to help me out a little?! **big grin**
Cheater! **returns the grin** Luv, ya! BTW, that Orson Scott Card book on your list sounds tempting... I've read only Ender's Game so far, but it landed on my all-time-fav-list...

Enchantment is just my 2nd O.S. Card book, and yes, Ender's Game was the 1st! The two are very different in intensity. This one is a modern-day Russian version of Sleeping Beauty - well, it begins in the 20th C. but after the hero kisses the enchanted princess, they both go back to the 9th C. Somehow in Ender's, I felt it was real even tho I knew it wasn't, but here I don't have that feeling, and I'm just enjoying a story instead of experiencing it, if that makes sense (I'm a little over halfway).

Kasia wrote: "I did not realize he wrote fairytales too. Interesting. I might give it a go, even though you say it was not as engaging as Ender's...."I didn't state that too clearly - Enchantment is an engaging story, but much lighter in tone, and it took me a little while to get into it. I'm enjoying it, but I just don't feel part of it as I did with Ender - it's not as intense.

But what do you mean - finally?! We still have 1/3 of the month left - and I think I'm going to need every hour!
