/lit/ - Literature

<Written in 1985
Birth of the internet troll?

Also, for a writer of a book series that takes place in a world that's picky about limiting your number of children, you'd think he wouldn't have such a blatantly stupid position against homosexuality(Card)...

Ender's Game
>Never trust anything.

hey /lit/ im from /co/

sup il/lit/erates
just finished this, wanted to hear your opinions

also i heard it's part of a series. is it, and if so what are the other books? thanks.

Young man bred, raised, trained and equipped for genocide does exactly that, just as exected.

Then don't read that one, there are many different covers for this awesome start to an epic series.

Shoulda read this sooner. So good.

meh

What do you think of this book?

If I was Ender, I would have fucked Valentine.

Howdy /lit/

I just got done reading Enders Game, and liked it well enough. I was doing some research on the sequels, and saw the next in order of release was Speaker for the Dead. Apparently, there is a 2008 book that takes place before Enders Game and Speaker for the Dead.

I was wondering, should I skip to Speaker for the Dead, or go ahead and pick up Ender in Exile? Are the sequels even worth reading?

>just finished "Ender's Game"
>holy shit, awesome book
>start reading "Speaker for the Dead" instantly
>set 3000 years in the future, but everything seems to be the same as in the first book
>alien race is called "piggies"
>whatthefuckamireading.jpg

It's one of those books that makes me stop reading it after few pages because of some annoying details.

waitwat?

Is this bitch serious?

>> Let me tell you about a book I just read.

It's the story of a young boy who was dreadfully abused by the grown-ups who wanted to mold him into an exemplary citizen. Forced to suppress his own emotions in order to avoid being paralyzed by trauma, he directed his energy into duty rather than sex or love. In time, he came to believe that his primary duty was to wipe out a species of gifted but incomprehensible aliens who had devastated his kind in a previous war. He found the idea of exterminating an entire race distasteful, of course. But since he believed it was required to save the people he defined as human, he put the entire weight of his formidable energy behind the effort to wipe out the aliens.

You've read it, you say? It's Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, right?

Wrong. The aliens I'm talking about were the European Jews, blamed by many Germans for gearing up World War I for their own profit. The book is Robert G. L. Waite's The Psychopathic God: Adolf Hilter.

I don't know of any pair of novels that have been as consistently misinterpreted as Card's Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. Even a reader with a rudimentary knowledge of twentieth century history might be expected to guess that the character of Ender Wiggin, the near messianic superhero, is based on that of Adolf Hitler.

How anyone with "rudimentary knowledge of twentieth century history " could ever think Ender is based on Hitler is a fool. This bitch is grasping at straws left and right.

WHY HAS THIS NOT ALREADY BEEN DONE!?!

This seemed aimed at children, tbh. which maybe explains why half my friends love it, because they all read it as children.

Ender Wiggin > Holden Caulfield
