# "The Bible" and "The Holy Bible" is like the difference between "Muhammed" and "Muhammad (pbuh)".

That is why Ender's Game is significant.

I whitewash my childhood as it's happening. Image

Military brats should serve right alongside their parents then? This would be a great initiative to help American children catch up in their studies.

I kind of figured that Ender's Game was more about the horrors of destroying childhood by imposing adult responsibilities at an early age. I'm not sure though, since I haven't read the book since I was fourteen or so.

On the other hand, I'm still reading The Princess Bride over and over, and I still pick up new things about it every time.

Meh too. :? I got that from Lord of the Flies as well.

Ender's game was really annoying to me though. I read it this past summer as a book that was on my list of books to read for AP English.

I blame my Romanticism fetish. O_O

How much do you want to bet that your options in the battle room will be limited so much that none of Ender's tactics from the book would work?
