Have you read First Meetings in Ender's Universe? I am currently reading it, I just wanted to get a census of who -or- is reading it. I have to say it is very interesting as of right now. But who knows, it may get worse. Probably not though. Oh and I am a new member here, I hope to enjoy my 'stay'

I recently read first meetings. it's a short, but very interesting book. i have to say the 3rd portion was boring, but then again, it was from ender's game, which i've read many times

No, Dangerous is not my middle name, Neil Dangerous will be my stage name when I become the greatest bass player in the entire world, and when your in a band, like myself, it's good to have stage names, or an add-on to your name, in this case 'Dangerous'.

Replying to the second post, yes I have read Ender's game many a time and it is always good. I've enjoyed the 2nd and 4th segments of the book the most. Those in my opinion are the most interesting.

[Big Grin] heh, funny. Yeah I read it, I found the original novela of Ender's Game slightly embarssing (Flashers, greeno). Everything else was great.

*SPOILER*

I really liked the first two about John Paul and Teresa. I thought Graff working behind the scenes even then was halarious.
*END SPOILER*

I thought the one about Jane was pretty good as well, but not on the same caliber. the end line (badly paraphrased) about how ender would never become emotionally attached to a computer program gave me a coniption fit, though. [ROFL]
