This was one of my favorite books back in the day...like when I was twelve and dug scifi...before I started getting laid a couple years later. Great storyline even though most of the sequals pretty much sucked. Orson Scott Card wrote the screenplay so hopefully hollywood won't f*ck it up too bad.

This is odd cause i read the book in the last 2 days. i really enjoyed it, i am going to get speaker of the dead tomorrow.

For some reason in the last week i have decided to start reading, dont know why as i have never been into reading before but im trying to hit up some classics.

So far this week i have read Enders Game and Cats Cradle (Kurt Vonnegut)

Next will be speaker of the dead then who knows.

Dave

I've read all the Ender's Game books, both Ender's and Bean's story arc. I think both were good in their own way, but I'm more of a fan of Ender's arc. It was just more unique and less human, which I don't usually find. Be sure to check them all out Doc... I think there are like 9 total, I don't remember offhand right now.
