Battle Royale, a high-octane thriller about senseless youth violence, is one of Japan's best-selling - and most controversial - novels. As part of a ruthless program by the totalitarian government, ninth-grade students are taken to a small isolated island with a map, food, and various weapons. Forced to wear special collars that explode when they break a rule, they must fight each other for three days until only one "winner" remains. The elimination contest becomes the ultimate in must-see reality television. A Japanese pulp classic available in English for the first time, Battle Royale is a potent allegory of what it means to be young and survive in today's dog-eat-dog world. The first novel by small-town journalist Koushun Takami, it went on to become an even more notorious film by 70-year-old gangster director Kinji Fukusaku.

If you haven't read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, I highly recommend both. Make sure you read them in order, though; the sequel is the same story from another person's point of view. It's one of those ideas that you think is really shitty, but ends up being incredible.

I figured you'd be reading the boxcar children still.

i like the author Louis LaMour. he wrote westerns but had a few with the western times military stuff with indians/ native americans. his stuff is very good and based a lot of the time on facts of the day but somewhat made into a story. very good and capturing.

one of my teachers was a master sgt. in the corps, did competition shooting with pistols for them, so he shot with carlos ( on the same team at least) said he was a pretty good guy, with one hell of a shot.
