I bought a Nook last night and I'm having trouble deciding on my first read for the new tablet. Anyone read anything worth a damn lately? I'm open to any genre. Was thinking about purchasing The Power of Habit, but didn't want to commit without asking the OT first.

If you haven't read "Ender's Game" series, then I'd start there. It's a book that's about 25 years old and still a bestseller.

They just made it into a movie, but don't go see the movie... even after you read it.

I reread "Gone With the Wind" when I got mine. It's the great American novel.

I've read them all and he's the funniest writer I've read in a long time but he's even better on audiobook because he reads them himself. And he ain't afraid to tell you how gay he is.

Love him. Swan Song is one of my all time favorites. Read it several times.

I'm reading The Night Circus right now. It's very much like that movie The Prestige, except a little more girly.

Don't remember the name, but the autobiography of Sammy "the bull" Gravano , John Gotti's enforcer, is a great read.
