Taking a spin at books-in-brief reviewer!

I told Kelsey one ITT class that I must have read about two good science fiction books in my lifetime. When she inquired of me the titles, I found myself incapable of listing them. I have since devoted a great deal of thought (not really, I swear) to this, and have come up with a list of my three favourite science fiction books in the whole wide world, or what I know of it.

1. A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle
Kids' book? Who cares? Although I never considered this my favourite book, it certainly was one that had a surprising impact on me and what might be called my morals. Yes, I know that's a little odd. I have read this so many times that I could even now tell you the story from beginning to end, omitting no detail.

2. Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card
I was walking around in a daze for days after I read this. The highlight of my summer? Okay, not quite, but it's without a doubt one of the best books I've ever read. Very fast-moving, but hardly light reading. All the guys did it for summer reading in grade eight.

3. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
Okay, maybe I'm stretching the limits of the genre here. Hey, it is about some people (four torsos, five heads) who fly around in a spaceship with a robot and a talking computer. Hm. Hard to sum this one up. Maybe you should read the first one and a half of the five books in the trilogy, then let me know what you think. Disaster Area was based on Pink Floyd, by the way.
