Hi there. I am helping to run a Book of the month type club on another forum. The book that the members choose for the very first book of the month was Enders Game (My suggestion). We have all been reading it over the past few weeks and are about to start posting our reviews. Most of the members have never read any Science fiction at all. So what did they think? Find out here. http://www.friendshipforum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=2019
If you are reading this Orson, why not pop over and see what non Sci Fi readers think, post a reply, that would really freak them out!!!!!!
Read the samples. You can read the first few chapters on most of them. They're all pretty awesome books. I would recommend The Memory of Earth if you like Sci-Fi. It's the start of the Homecoming series, which I think is the better overall series compared to the Ender books. But, that's just my opinion, and many others will disagree with me.
Ender's Game & Speaker of the Dead pretty much dominate the top two favorite Sci-Fi books, and it's hard to say which is better. OSC is a great writer, check him out. Posts: 4229 | Registered: Dec 2002

Have read first 3 Ender, First two shadow, first two Alivin Maker, first two of Homecoming, then I ran out of money. I thought I was was pretty well versed in OSC (See I am learning)before I came on this site!!!!
I am sure that OSC's Mom still calls him Orson.

Hobbes, I think you're forging a path into a bright new future in which people communicate by smilies alone.

And here I thought this thread would be about the sentience of aiua s.
A new form of communication based entirely on smilies. You know, posts are limited to eight smilies. ASCII was 8 slots of 1 or 0. Someone smarter than me would know how many permutations we can have with 32 unique smilies in 8 place configurations. Heck, that's already more than there are characters in the english language.

Wow, people on that site don't seem all that enthusiastic about posting. Although I'd have to disagree with the part where you said Ender's parents didn't want him. They did, they wanted ten more kids. They just didn't want all of the complications that go with a third child. Even though they were proud to be able to break the population limitation laws, the Wiggins were ashamed because that was all they were willing to break the law by. They wished it were possible to go off into the middle of the country and have a ton of children. Maybe I should post that there, but I'm too lazy to like, register and stuff. And I'm not sure what the website is actually for and again, I'm too lazy to like, find out and stuff.
