In our last interview—this one over the phone—I asked Zuckerberg about “Ender’s Game,” the sci-fi book whose hero is a young computer wizard.
“Oh, it’s not a favorite book or anything like that,” Zuckerberg told me, sounding surprised. “I just added it because I liked it. I don’t think there’s any real significance to the fact that it’s listed there and other books aren’t. But there are definitely books—like the Aeneid—that I enjoyed reading a lot more.”

I don't know that I'd call Ender a computer wizard, either.

Describing the protagonist as a "computer wizard" is very misleading to those who haven't read Ender's Game, but Ender does do his share of hacking.

Yeah, I think he's right behind Bean as far as manipulating the Computer System (HE BEAT THE GIANT'S DRINK).
Although it is weird that EG is the only game on Zuck's FB...

Well, I think that since the only OTHER book he mentions is the Aeneid, that EG is in good company....
