I'll tell you this, I'm not a judge of the quality of writing. I'm not a career author and don't claim to be a good one, and I'm not an expert of who is or isn't. I am simply a man who likes stories. I am a judge of story content. The Narnia books were, to me, uninteresting and stupid. The quality o...

You know, this is the oddest thing: I support Clinton over Obama, on the one hand, for several reasons that I won't go into here. But what's most important to me right now is that McCain keep his lead. Because if he does, from my standpoint at least, come November we will basically have a win/win s...

Come on yall, it wasn't supposed to be some grand epic. It takes place while he's in battle school so we already know the outcome of any major conflict Card could have imagined, this anecdote just makes Enders character more exceptional. Just think of A War of Gifts as an expansion pack to Enders Ga...

A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius by David Eggers is great. It's all about the irony, but while trying to specifically avoid actually BEING what is says it is, it does break your heart, and at times does reach the point of staggering genius. It's subtle, it's disarming, it's funny, it's ten...

I have to say, I am super impressed with these forums and the people here. Considering the content of the inspiration for this forum, I should have expected this, but the community here is way more intelligent than any other forum I have been a part of, while not being overwhelmingly elitist and exc...

I think humans are inherently egocentrical. :D Quite. A fictional wise man once speculated that evolution can't produce a species that hasn't a will to survive. Surviving requires caring more for the need of the self than for the need of the other. If that isn't the very definition of egotism, it's...

With everything in Children of the Mind being all abstract and theoretical, all of Circa Survive's lyrics put me in the same state of mind that said book does. For example: You are in my dreams Half human, half machine You are someone else that I have felt and seen I cannot rest on my consciousness ...

Romney and Edwards are the only candidates who have impressed me. Unfortunately, I have little faith that either of them will recieve nomination. Edwards has all but withdrawn, and Romney can't compete with McCains primary victories, legitimate military record, and general common man demeanor. McCai...

NOTICE: I couldn't find a "new members" board
Hello, I am Andy. I enjoy the Enders Game and Enders Shadow series and the internets, so I joined this lovely site. Actually, I'm reading Xenocide right now and I decided Warmaker would be a rad SN. I love good books, good music, good movies, fun people, and assorted video games. I also dabble in cr...

His Dark Materials is my favorite book series. Ender etc. is a close second to those masterpieces. The deep theology is something that hasn't been matched in literature, to my knowledge, since. I did sit through the whole movie, sadly, and cried, thoroughly. Probably the most awful rendering of a bo...
