I just hate and the dumb fanboys that think they're cool for watching the show; I was reading the books and liked them long before they changed the name from aSOIAF to GoT |

The last book I read was one of the "Ranger's Apprentice" series. I know, it's for tweens and early teens, but shut up. Don't judge. It's actually pretty good, if you forgive the writer for making painfully OP main characters. But the book I read before that was Ender's Game. It's pretty good, way better than the movie.

It's starting to get creepy how we've all read the same books.
Eragon, Ranger's Apprentice, Ender's Game, The Giver, I Am Number Four, etc....
Ranger's Apprentice:
I personally really liked the series, though things started getting detached when Will got older. I like the series after Ranger's Apprentice though.
Ender's Game:
Absolutely loved the book. It is one of my all time favorites, I even made one of my friends read it. I saw the movie, which as you said, isn't as good. I also liked Ender's Shadow.
I have never read "A Song of Ice and Fire".....

I read 90% of Ender's Game for my English class like a year ago and thought it was pretty good. How's the rest of the series?

Do you want a summary, or a rating? I've only personally read Ender's Shadow (which is about Bean and his story and happens during Ender's Game) but none of the other books. I do know what they are about though.

You've probably read/seen aSOIAF, it's Game of Thrones.
I love the series (books) and I also like the mini series, the Hedge Knight. They've made a comic out of the hedge knight, it's very good and I recommend it.

Of course, we have (I guess) 6 cities in France who have subway. Paris has 16 underground lines (in the city) and 6 lines named RER (between subway & trains for suburbs)  |
