See the script ... at least the title page :)

Note that the script is dated January 5, 2012 with revision pages noted for January 30 and February 8.

Is that a ‘Cast Members’ list I see on the left-hand side?

Ender taken off USMC Reading List

The United States Marine Corp used to have Ender's Game on its official reading list. The list was recently revised (As it often is), and this time, Ender didn't make the cut.

But Starship Troopers did :P

Fun facts to know and tell.
