The very first book challenge (or experience) I entered as a blogger was the Sci Fi experience, and it got me hooked into book blogging. So I have to say thanks to Carl V for hosting!
If I had all the time in the world, I'd probably read scifi nonstop, but real life intrudes, so here is how far I got:
I started with The Handmaid's Tale, a fascinating look at a dystopian future where women are kept in near slavery and reading is outlawed.
My next book happened to be scifi as well. Feed was a look into a future that, while not as bleak as The Handmaid's Tale perhaps, was sure not all sunshine and daisies. Everyone worth anything is connected to a feed in their brain which allows them to chat and access the next generation internet. But things are not always what they seem....
And finally, I found a new favorite author in Orson Scott Card. Ender's Game was a great read - thought-provoking, interesting, enjoyable.
Carl, I hope you host this challenge again. I could always use an excuse to read more scifi.

I just finished up Ender's Game this morning. All I can say at the moment is "wow"...and of course that's so inadequate. I didn't read your review the other day, because I'd already started the book, but I'm off to read it now.
Stupid real life, getting in the way of our reading :P
Both Ender's Game and The Handmaid's Tale are books I really really ought to read.
debi-it is a really great book isn't it? I think its great how a book can be like that.
nymeth-agreed. I want a clone of myself to go to work and earn me money so I can read and blog. Yes, those are both goods books to read, I would recommend either one highly!
