these are great, I had forgotten these:
Joe Haldeman - The Forever War
Jack Womack - Random Acts of Senseless Violence, Heathern, Elvissy, Terraplane
Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead
Vernor Vinge - Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky -

Did Speaker for the Dead for a book club recently, wasn't really blown away. Ender's Mary Sue-ness kind of went into overdrive. And the melodrama, my god the melodrama. It was telenovela level. Did have some fairly neat ideas in-between all that though, the Piggies are a great creation.
Heathern, Elvissy, Terraplane
Looking forward to getting to these, glad to hear they're good. I understand they're a lot less grounded than "Random Acts" -

Are you trying to steal my bestie? Just because we are currently having problems doesn't mean you can waltz in here and seduce him with you book lists, you whore!

Are messageboards not rather normal now as well? Granted, maybe most people wouldn't post even half as much but still. And IMDB is a special place.
Surely the common man wouldn't stoop as low as Proust.
In any case, Fitz is merely deeply uncool, not a nerd.
