... From sci-fi right down to Science and History. :3 Yey! *ahem* Welcome from another newbie, eh? I just started today. Ender's Game is definitely on my to-read list too.

Ender's Game

>45 Ender's Game is one of my favorite books of all time. I wouldn't have picked it up to read (I'm not a sci-fi reader), but we had to read it in AP Lit when I was 17 as a "light, Christmas Break fun book." I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

Read Ender's Game. Its probably his best book, and its his most readable, IMHO. You won't regret it. Of anybody I've read other than King he's the master of writing believable child characters.

... -School-Sci-FiFantasy-Lit-Class">Link So far, as expected, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Robert A. Heinlein works and Ender's Game have been suggested. But we could have one here, too...

1. Ender's Game 2. Artemis Fowl 3. Stormbreaker in Graphic Novel Version 4. The Wish List 5. The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm 6. Anthem 7. Heir Apparent are all decent books I would recommend for younger scifi fans.

Ha ha, my copy of Ender's Game also has tattered edges! My other most read scifi book is Prelude to Foundation which is my favorite Asimov story.

I also hope Ender's Game will be a movie soon! However, I tend to think that the Bean series (beginning with Ender's Shadow) would be a more exciting and action-filled movie in comparison. I'm also looking forward to the anti-gravity special effects in the Battle Room scenes...

... you don't have to read Ender's Shadow in series order - it won't ruin or spoil anything for you. It's told in parallel to Ender's Game but from the viewpoint of another boy at battle school. It's the only other Ender book I've read although my husband likes them all.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card has been another excellent addition to my reading list from this year. A classic tale of war in space and the young boy who has been selected to command Earth's forces in a battle to the death. This is a fast paced story that deals with the forced maturation ...

Wow, this topic is a bit old, but hey, why not revive it... I have it on good authority that Ender's Game will be a movie, as soon as Card finishes the screenplay for it. Perhaps he's finished it by now... but yes, it will happen. At least, filming will happen. Fairly soon. Hopefully.

6. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card:4 and a half stars.

I am reading Enders Game by the wonderful Orson Scott Card. I recently(a year or so ago) took in a lecture from this brilliant man. I would recommend all of you hear this man speak. I think you would like him Richard. He is like a beacon in the night. Best speaker I have ever sat in front of. And ...

Skulduggery Pleasant, Ender's Game and the Bartimaeus trilogy? All very good books with no romance.

I always recommend Ender's Game first, but I do not recommend the sequels. Since you asked for historical as well, I think To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the best books ever written. I hope you find something!

Dune and Ender's Game both have a fair amount of space travel, which the OP said he didn't like. For science fiction that stays on Earth and is still good try William Gibson's Sprawl series (Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive). You ...

... commonwealth sagas. Both Morgan and Hamilton have interesting takes on regeneration or "living forever". I liked the Ender series, but read them a long time ago. I'm always changing my mind, but I think at the moment I still go for Morgan as a favourite.

Bujold's Vorkosigan books. Very re-readable. I'm not a fan of Card's Ender series (save for Ender's Game) - the newest in particular I thought was just terrible - but I did like his Ender's Shadow series well enough. Don't know that I'd bother to re-read them, but I liked them while I was ...

44. Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card Having read Ender's Game, I was curious about the story of Bean. In the Introduction, Card said he wanted to write an independent story about the same events, a story even someone who had not read Ender's Game would enjoy. He did not succeed. ...

... and it is exactly those kinds of views that can fan the flames of some of the issues he treats in his book. Ender's Game got off to a fast start, but I ultimately decided to put it down. I was confused about the universe that Ender lived in, I couldn't understand how months had ...

... past page 50. Luckily the movie comforted me that I did not miss anything. I also have to agree about the Ender series. Ender's Game was great, but I got only half-way through Xenocide before deciding it wasn't worth it.

As long as someone had already memorized Lolita, I would choose Ender's Game, as it's one of my faves and I've already re-read it a few times.

... by Frank Beddor - a darker take on Alice in Wonderland, though maybe it would be a bit much for an 11-year-old Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a classic and I don't think you can ever go wrong with that

Ender's Game. I didn't get very far into that one, as it seemed to be more of a young adult's book. Also Pirate Freedom by Gene Wolfe. Although I'm a fan of Wolfe, I got lost in this one and was too bored to keep finding my way.

>19 How about: 5 years ago on this date you acquired Ender's Game ...and then if it's also in your "To Read" collection, it appears: 5 years ago on this date you acquired Ender's Game, so get reading, slacker! :)

From aqeeliz's library, I would choose Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, which I have been meaning to read for a while now.

Some of the books that sucked me in, where I felt like I was in the story and not even noticing the pages turn were Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers Armor by John Steakley Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

Could be any number of books from your library aqeeliz but I shall pick Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Have no idea why I've not got round to reading this yet.

OK, I finally finished my book for May (in June -- I got off-track reading Ender's Game). The book that I read was Atonement. I really did not think that I would like this book, but I found to my surprise that once I gave it a chance the story totally drew me in. I just had to finish it. --B ...

... pretty good, given you reread it? I love the Ender books, did you enjoy Ender's Shadow? Since it's so different from Ender's Game, it's always interesting to see how people take to the shift.

I'm glad you liked Ender's Game! I always find time each year to re-read parts of it. I recently reviewed Speaker of the Dead on my thread, I definitely didn't like it as much because it veered off more on the psychological department. I might give the next one a go sometime, but it isn't on ...

Never read Ender's Game, or its sequels; but I do recall trying one of the Gentry Lee sequels to Rendezvous with Rama and being supremely unimpressed. don't think I got beyond the first of the sequels, in fact. The sequels to Gateway were, IIRC, also of declining quality.

At the request of a good male friend, I've started Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game.

I would say that in the US Ender's Game is probably the first choice for a YA starter to SF. It used to be Madeleine L'Engle but only Wrinkle is any good, the quality of the rest drops off sharply. Happily Card's Mormon prejudices are not as prevalent in these books as they are in the Alvin ...

I think you'll like Ender's Game. My brother enjoys all Michael Crichton's books so I'm gonna assume you can't go wrong with that as well. I'm glad you enjoyed Kurt Vonnegut; I've been meaning to read his books for a long time and now might actually try to get to them this year as per ...

Update on Ender's Game: we started reading in Year 11 ESL today, and the kids seemed to enjoy it - they laughed & winced in all the right places, so that was good. Sharing with them It's even better than I remember it! Oh, a funny story when I introduced it today. From the cover, I asked the ...

Ender's Game is a surprisingly good read, that has not dated one bit. I read it last year before passing on to a gifted year 6 boy (as well as another copy to Luckaye as part of an exchange), and was amazed by how modern it was (because I was really expecting something rather dated from the 197 ...

Miss-Owl, Ender's Game is one of the best sci-fi novels I've ever read. I haven't gotten around to re-reading it for years (but I think I might classify it as a Desert Island Novel), but I still get moved just thinking about it. Truly great sci-fi makes you *think*, and this one did that. My ...

Just re-read Enders Game last night which I haven't read since I was a kid. I loved it just as much the second time, I may go for the full series today!

Mercedes Lackey's Arrows of the Queen and Magic's Pawn series. Orson Scott Card's Ender books. I think because the characters feel very real to me, and many of them are people I'd befriend if they existed, so having them "around" is comforting, particularly since I moved so far from home.

... set that had this one included with it. It was cheaper buying the 4 books together then just buying the 3 he needed. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

I don't know if I can pick just one. Ender's Game is sort of like The Hobbit for me, it may not be the best in the series, but because I read it first out all his works it still speaks to me in ways the other books can't. If I take that out of the equation I'd have to go with Pastwatch

I think YA is a very poor thing to be using. Where should Ender's Game go. It was first published as adult SF. It is still works as adult SF but it has been republished as YA. It is far from the only one - Shetterley's Dogland has also been treated in the same way. Even The Wheel Of Time ...

... only by daylight! Also completed Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, and I much preferred it to Stardust. It's a level above Ender's Game, which was a Secret Santa gift to me and I did enjoy, but not quite deep fantasy. On to the next book I can grab on the shelf.

I second the negative on Ender's Game. By all accounts, it's a book best enjoyed in your early teens.

My daughter suggested that I nominate another book Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, and I just read a review of it elsewhere that was really good. Plus, apparently there will be a movie of it in 2011. --BJ

>21 All right. I'll give Card another chance in the future...but Iwas truly disappointed in Ender's Game. >22 I've always just hopped here and there in my reading (after all the assigned work from the old days), but I thought I'd give this 999 thing a go--I might like the structure! Part of my ...

>17: Ooh, don't give up on Card just yet! My absolute favorite by him is not a Sci-Fi book (admittedly, I've never read Ender's Game) but fantasy/fairy tale with a modern/historical twist, called Enchantment. It's got to be one of my favorite books of all time, very intelligently written.

#13--oh, Stasia, I was so disappointed in Enders Game. I had read/heard a great deal about how wonderful it is--but I found it not at all wonderful. I liked the Potter book much better. It's unfortunate that these folks (i.e., fantasy writers) have to compete with Tolkien and T.H. White. Or with C ...

Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone lived up to my expectations that it would be better than Ender's Game. It was better written, had much more character development, and was in general more interesting, at least to my somewhat jaded tastes. That said, it's very obviously a child's book (thoug ...

yosarian, If you've not read Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, it's a Nebula and Hugo award winner and probably my favorite book of all time. It's the first in a series, as well as the basis for a parallel series that starts with Ender's Shadow.

Sorry to hear you did not care for Ender's Game. Perhaps you will like Harry Potter better.

Finished Ender's Game. Really, really didn't like it at all, for a variety of reasons. Hope that the first Potter book is better.

Finished Ender's Game yesterday. I really didn't like it very much (see review). I'm looking forward to comparing what Rowling did with what is (in O.S. Card's view) very much the same plot idea. Somehow I think hers will be better. Still reading Testament of Youth. It seems to go on ...

As many of you probably know by now, the Ender's Game books are among my favorite of all time.

I read Ender's Game for the first time last year and enjoyed it very much. Glad to see you liked it as well.

I read the first book in the Ender's series last year, Ender's Game, and truly enjoyed it, but I think I am just going to stop there. If the series goes downhill, why waste my time?

Ender's Game is one of my favorite books! I agree with you about Card's detailed layers. I've read it several times and I discover something new each time.

I loved Ender's Game, thought Speaker for the Dead was OK, absolutely loathed Xenocide and decided I was done with that series no matter how many more he wrote. For me, it was a classic example of what I've come to call the Dune Syndrome.

Just read Ender's Game, which was one of two Secret Santa books I received. It was fun fantasy with one more serious twist at the end. Not too heavy on any one topic and I'd recommend it to a new-to-the-genre reader. Otherwise, I tend to have "oldies but goodies" on my list.

... making it a mix between 'classics' and 'popular reads'. Don't forget, classics are just popular reads that have aged. Ender's Game won a Hugo and a Nebula award and still sells well. That's about as classic and credible as a sci-fi book can get. Besides, as mentioned above, Ender's Game ...

I just finished Ender's Game today and it was awesome!! I'm so glad you were all talking about it last month.

Great selection! Ender's Game was the book selected in 2007 for our community reads program. You can find the website about it, including a list of discussion questions, from the library's site: http://www.forsyth.cc/LIBRARY/samepage.aspx Hope this helps!

... club. The ladies in this book club have not read much if any sci fi in their lives which I felt was tragic. So I chose Ender's Game. Now what I need are discussion questions. I'm not very good at coming up with stuff like that. So if any of my wonderfully creative HE friends can think ...

... Heinlein and Farnham's Freehold and whether the author was being racist or misunderstood. Then 'bugger' came up in Ender's Game. Disch accused Card of not only using the term 'bugger' as a slur, but he also accused him of swiping the term from the 'bugs' in Starship Troopers. Seems ...

I don't know. I think most of us agree that regardless of what was found later, at the time he was writing Ender's Game Orson Scott 'I'm a jerk' Card probably wasn't aware that 'buggers' was a slur elsewhere. I agree he probably heard something about it after publication. But I would ...

I'm not sure why this hasn't been mentioned, but in both Starship Troopers and Enders Game the term "bugs" and "buggers" are used on ALIENS THAT ARE INSECTLIKE that the earth is engaged in a war with, so I think the reasons for the use of those terms is self evident. I have never heard either ...

Gene, I was going to point out that Ender's Game is a required read here in Texas in response to post #39, but I figured it was only that way for districts around me. Certain times of the year you can't go into a B&N without tripping over a stack of the book.

Let me say at the outset that I liked all of the original 4 Ender's Game books, and much of Card's earlier work, long before his views on social issues became well-publicized. I have pretty well bounced off of everything he has written from the 90's on, though. The one early book which I expunged ...

... to other education systems, here ninth grade is usually fourteen) in this district is required to purchase and read both Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead, so I'm sure that skews the sales.

To be fair, I will read Enders Game. I already own it along with Seventh Son and Enchantment (which my wife enjoyed). I will read a work even if I disagree with the author. That is the case for me with Heinlein and Bova (although to a lesser extent than what I've just read by Card). It's ...

#28 - you're not alone: I've yet to understand all the fuss about Ender's Game. And while I may support free speech, I don't see why I should support someone who has the views Card does - so he'll not be getting any of my money. #30 - there are only two books which follow on from Frank Herbert' ...

... I'm in the minority on this one (so many people seem to love it), but my life was not the least bit enriched by reading Ender's Game. It wasn't a bad read, but it was mediocre. I thought Speaker for the Dead was actually a somewhat better book. ETA: Which is to say, I figure you'll ...

Admittedly, there's no real order to my TBR stuff. Usually when I'm nearing the end of what I'm currently reading a title will bubble ...

Espy, I just got Ender's Game from the library! But I haven't gotten to start it yet. This weekend for sure! Foggi, I read Lightning Thief not too long ago and I liked it quite a bit (enough to put the series on my "to buy" list).

I finally started and finished Ender's Game and I believe that it deserves all the praise that anyone who has ever recommended it to me gave it. Is the rest of the Ender series just as good? Next up I'm going to read The Book of Lost Things, which is not MrA's copy unless the library found ...

I finally gave up on Wicked. I have a tough choice now between Storm Front, The Book of Lost Things, or Ender's Game. It's incredibly tough because I've never read any of them, but all three have been highly recommended to me by different people. I may just end up rolling a die and taking ...

I've never read Ender's Game before, but that will soon change.

I'm thinking about have Ender's Game be the book for my bookclub when it's my turn to pick. I think I need to introduce some Scifi into these ladies lives.

Oooh, Espy, have you read Ender's Game before? It's one of my all-time favorites, if not the absolute top of the heap.

My most re-read include: Wyndham - all Bujold - all Asimov - the Foundation series Card - only Ender, Pastwatch and Enchantment (although I guess Enchantment would count as Fantasy) And Artemis Fowl if that counts as Sci-Fi

I have to say I reread Ender's Game quite a bit. (My copy has tattered edges.) Though I've not reread any in the last year due to an extensive to be read list that I want to finish before 2012. Problem is I shrink it by two books, it grows by six.

#144 and 145 - I love Ender's Game; I've read it several times. Ender's Shadow was very good, too. I don't care very much for the other books in the series. In anticipation of Brandon Sanderson writing the final installment for Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, I've just ...

I think you would like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. There is a whole series.

For me it would have to be Chronicles of the Cheysuli, a series by Jennifer Roberson and of course Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card which some of you will say is SF but to me it's both.

I SHALL DESTROY YOU! i mean, 1. read no heard of yes, 2. read no heard of yes. But I have read Enders Game.

Ender's Game is the most often cited prediction of online discussion forums and their effect on politics. It's from 1985, though, a time when Usenet was already growing fast.

Maybe there could be some bibliographic control for tags. For example, Ender's Game is tagged with sci-fi, science fiction, sf and sff (there is also speculative fictions but I think that might be a little different/broader than the other tags). It would be nice if all these tags could be ...

Ender's Game is good. Its sci-fi, so not sure if that disqualifies it.

She might be able to add Ender's Game. If I remember correctly, there's some nudity including a student with a holographically enlarged phallus, but it just might make the cut. Orson Scott Card is a bit of a conservative (mormon), and although I might not agree with him on many things, maybe ...

I would advise against Ender's Game, and 1984. I read both of these in highschool and again in college. 1984 scared the shit out of me, and I'm not sure a sixth grader would really understand the book. I remember reading Martian Chronicles in middle school and being bored out of my mind.

I vote Ender's Game. The irony is, however, all the voters are also the same people who made the nominations, so I think we're all pretty much going to vote for our own nominations. We might want to consider choosing a selection at random some how.

I reread Ender's Game a few weeks ago (I've read it several times). I also enjoyed Ender's Shadow, but I didn't care much for the other books in the series. Each time I read it, I discover something new! It's definately one of my favorite books.

I loved Ender's Game a lot, but it's been a while since I've read it, or any of the other books in the series. I just got A War of Gifts: An Ender Story for Christmas, so I might go back and re-read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow before reading that one....Don't know yet. Anyone read A ...

I read Ender's Game earlier this year, and loved it, however creepy I thought it was. I plan to read the next books as soon as I can get a hold of them.

... my all time favorite books. If you liked it you should definitely read Ender's Shadow, which happens at the same time as Ender's Game, but from someone else's perspective. After that the books split off into two complete trilogies. One follows Ender and Valentine, Speaker for the Dead, Xe ...

I loved Ender's Game to no end, ha ha. It's now my favorite book. My favorite character (other than Ender) is Valentine, and the Giant's Drink/End of the World game is cool yet creepy. If you have any comments, please respond! P.S. Now I am reading book 2 (Speaker for the Dead) and I like ...

There are a ton of boy-protagonist books within the YA sci-fi/fantasy genre. Ender's Game and the accompanying series, Harry Potter, Eragon, etc. I find there are also a lot of tomboyish girls, like Lyra in His Dark Materials or Tally in Uglies, that I think boys can relate to as well. There ...

As a former bookseller, I have to add my vote to the others for Enders Game. Too many times parents try to interest their children in the favorites they loved and, for the most part, it doesn't work. Enders is a plus also because Ender, although six years old, functions in the novel like a 12/13 ...

When I read the first message, Ender's Game is the first thing that came to mind. I would also suggest The Bicentennial Man and I, Robot by Issac Asimov in addition to The Caves of Steel that has already been mentioned.

Yeah I would say Ender's Game too. Another idea would be Stephen Baxter's The H-Bomb Girl if it is available in the US yet (it is only a hardcover in the UK). It is a teenage/young-adult book. Although the main character is a girl so it might not immediately work for some boys. Maybe Isa ...

Thanks jserger9000. I had thought of Ender's Game. That is definitely a possibility. It has been awhile since I read it but I remember it being pretty approachable. The kids nowadays are pretty sophisticated what with all of the explicit video games, computer gear and high tech movies. I ...

Depends on what he likes of course, but Ender's Game is always a good stand-by. Has action, is about a child and has some literary merit. Another thought is maybe some Star Wars novels. If he likes the movies, maybe some of the books set in that universe would kick start a reading habit? I ...

I would love to see Ender's game adapted. I think LOTR books are better than the movie, and I have stopped trying to compare HP movies and books there's too much they miss.

GD & HP - Ender's Game is really good! I finished Cyteen last night and haven't got around to chose what to read next - I'm on some kind of vacation and spends most of my time socializing with my family... VERY rewarding :-) I should add that I really enjoyed Cyteen.

I should have waited and posted once. :) #38 - I love Ender's Game! I've read it a couple of times. The sequel is good, but they go downhill after the first two books in the series. Ender's Shadow is also very good.

I started Ender's Game last night because it's on the 8th grade summer reading list, and I haven't read it before. When a student does a project on it, it would help to know what the book's about. I really like what I've read so far. I'm finishing up OotP and have Half-blood Prince ready ...
