How about Ender's Game?
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It might be a touch too old for sophomores, but Mira Grant's Feed is really fantastic.
I see Feed likes carrots.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It's true, P-C; I love it lots.

Does that mean you like my suggestion? Internet slang moves fast sometimes... it is a great book...gritty and affirming at the same time.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Oh, yes, Sherman Alexie is excellent. Hmm, I haven't gotten aroudn to it myself, but what about Oscar Wao? Or Cory Doctorow's Little Brother? (I thought the ending was ridiculous and almost completely undercut his argument, but it is popular among a certain geeky set...)

Oscar Wao was very good, but quite intricate...I'd reccomend it to good readers, though. Especially geeks. I liked the voice...very distinctive.
