    Question of the Week

    Hi All,

    After years of being in the forums and getting help and giving the little help I'm capable of I realized that we "hang out" a lot but yet know so little about each other outside of Linux world (and possibly our favorite movies). So I'm trying to see if we can get a weekly question that is completely unrelated to Linux, if it works out I'll try to post one every Friday, if not, well I'll give up quickly and keep us in our virtual space

    Question: If you had to recommend one book and/or book series, what would it be?
    Bodhi 1.3 & Bodhi 1.4 using E17
    Dell Studio 17, Intel Graphics card, 4 gigs of RAM, E17

    My recommendation to others would be The Lord of the Rings series of books.

    Another vote for Lord of the Rings.

    Two others, though...
    Ender's Game
    Stranger in a Strange Land

    FWIW, I've had the first 3 volumes for about 20+ years. Just got the new 4th volume this past fall. Awesome!

    LOTR goes with out saying, so I'll just say it here. Magician by Raymon E. Feist is another great fantasy and I am refreshing my distressingly rusty OO by reading through Head First Object Oriented Analysis & Design

    [edit]
    Oh and The War of Powers is an amazing read. But probably not for kids.

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
