After just finishing reading Ender’s Game for the first time, I’m not enthralled with the novel. However, I’ve found that the science fiction genre has been a bit more challenging for me to read, as it doesn’t really hold my attention. With Ender’s Game, I think it’s possible that I may...

That's neat. It never occurred to me that the lake was a real place. Of course, when I first read EG I didn't realize that Eros is an actual asteroid either. What's next, Lusitania is real too?! Isn't Lusitania a historical battleship or something? I remember seeing part of a special about it on th...

I don't know... I read the entire shadow series in 7th grade, and loved all the political maneuvering and such... I don't understand why everyone likes SftD better. Yes, I know its completely on a different standard than EG. Still, EG strikes me as more... actionful? not so philosophical and somewh...

I'm rereading Asimov's Foundation trilogy but this time I'm going to also read Foundation's Edge. Can you believe that there are a lot of people who have never heard of Isaac Asimov? Seriously! Gah. I loved Foundation (the first trilogy; haven't read the second trilogy yet.) I've probably said this...

The minute you force someone to read/listen/experience any form of art, you've tainted it for that person, IMHO. One of the joys of art is the independent discovery and exploration of it. Telling kids what books to read isn't even the problem. The problem becomes when you tell them how to read them,...

I think a huge part of the problem is simply that some of you read EG back in the 70s or 80s and then read ES in the 90s (or whenever it was first published,) so it's almost like the Ender quartet and the Bean quartet are two completely different sagas that happen to involve the same characters. I r...

I loved it, but I thought it asked a little too much of the viewer, maintaining such a high level of intensity for such a long time. Could have used an intermission. Fun fact: those ferries? Yeah, those were Staten Island ferries, repainted (or stickered) to say Gotham. I used to ride those ferries ...

Oh, you can check out my Zune profile, which lists all of the songs I listen to on my Zune. Though it hasn't been updated in about a week, and won't be updated until at least the 26th.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this, I wanted to re-read Xenocide before ommenting further.... And they clearly must have been trying to communicate/enslave him before the final campaign, since they were involved with the Fantasy Game when Ender was still in Battle School. See, this I absol...
