Hey Steve and others.  I just finished Ender's Game--which I absolutely loved--when Steve recommended In The Balance on on the show.  I picked it up and am really enjoying it.   I'm really starting to get back into fantastical fiction in a big way, but am wasting a lot of time money on Amazon on books that I don't enjoy.  The best Science Fiction and Fantasy is awesome, but it can be hard to find; there is so much pulpy crap out there.

I picked up Starship Troopers (all right, not great.)  People seem to love the Wheel of Time seriess, but Eye of the World  bored me to tears.  Same with Illium.   Though I loved the first Dune book, they get pretty tedious later on.

I'm crazy about Neal Stephenson--Cryptnomicon and The Baroque Cycle are in my Top Ten.  I really, really enjoyed Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.  I gobbled up Asimov from the age of 14 to 17.

I would love to hear some recommendations.  Any other recommendations, Steve.  What are people enjoying?
