TadAD and ronincats-- Thanks for all the suggestions! I have Dune and Ender's Game because my son has been wanting me to read them and he has always talked about Hitchhiker's Guide so I bought the "Ultimate" version a couple of weeks ago--5 novels and a short story-- I will read at ...

Hmmm, realized I responded with a list to MusicMom41, but this is blackdogbooks thread. :-) Putting it over in her thread.

I'm Reading Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card. I read Ender's Game a few months ago and really enjoyed it so I decided to read about Bean's story, which so far has been more interesting to me than Ender's.

If you liked the Twilight series, you might want to try The Host. I can recommend The Golden Compass, and Ender's Game.

... gon. I'm currently at six: Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians, The Hobbit, Storm Front, The Rover, Good Omens, and Ender's Game. I'm not a huge fantasy person, so I'll probably be the low man on the totem pole... but I was surprised at seeing Mel Odom's book there. How about you?

... outside of the usual during my secondary education, just Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451. My district didn't do Ender's Game. (Despite my lukewarm opinion, it wouldn't have been the worst thing I read--my freshman year teacher had us read John Grisham and Clive Cussler, for God's ...

Dune is worth a read. It really is. Of the the list of SF books that are endlessly, endlessly, glowingly endorsed -Ender's Game, Armor, The Foundation -it is the one that really pays a return on investment. That it's prose is spotty shouldn't be a surprise, and definitely shouldn't be a ...

... read here in Texas that made me take a second look at it. (Went to Borders on Friday. Care to guess how many copies of Ender's Game were on hand? One of the classes must be getting ready to start it. Why, even I now read it! It can be done in about three hours. Alas, you don't ...

I haven't read Ender's Game, but does it hold up to the buckets of blood of Shakespeare and Aeschylus? Is it filled with foundational human elements? Homer and Aeschylus invented the Class ...

All this talk of Ender's Game is making me want to pull it off the TBR pile, blow the dust off and finally read the darn book.

... 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 ...

1. Nineteen Eighty-Four 2. Ender's Game 3. Brisingr 4. The Search for the Red Dragon 5. A Thousand Splendid Suns >45: Shadow of the Wind was a stunning read, eh?

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 ...

... whose views I don't like. Now, you folks have presented me with an interesting experiment. Some time ago, I read Ender's Game and rather liked it. I don't remember sensing any of the hateful views I read in Cliff's essay link. However, now I'm taking a class and Speaker for the Dead ...

I got maybe a quarter of the way through Ender's Game this weekend and it is great! I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. Now I need to speed read my FOTR chapters for this week.. #211 Hooray! Another one sold on Book of Lost Things! I'm so glad you all like the book. The two RL ...

#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 ...

... - Cliff, Aww man! I probably shouldn't have read that. (Well, I read about halfway through the article he wrote). I have Ender's Game in my TBR pile somewhere. 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 ...

23> I have fond memories of both Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead, but knowing what I now know about Card's views I will never read either of them, or anything else by that hateful man, again.

... Card and that is how I got into SF. So I think it is in fact a great way to enter the genre. I was also warned to stop at Ender's Game and not bother with Speaker for the Dead. I didn't, and kind of regret it a little. #1 I agree with you that the Foundation series shouldn't be ...

... with the genre but haven't read Heinlein. For those new to the genre I am more likely to hand them my "loaner" copy of Ender's Game. Others I might recommend (depending on my knowledge of their other reading tastes) - L'Engle as a "transition" author (she is not actually on my SF shelf) ...

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 either. I don't know how I missed it! Suge, glad you loved Book Thief and are loving the Heir series!

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

... Frodo better after reading the series! I like movie-Frodo . . . but then, I liked book-Frodo first. I'll have to read Ender's Game (been wanting to for a while now, and I can poach Espy's library copy if I move fast!) but I've been thinking about all of the portrayals of forests and trees ...

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 ...
