I saw a place that was selling t-shirts like that from the last book. Something like "*blank* dies on page *blank*, I just saved you $25"

Read Ender's Game for great justice.

:O

Wow. We actually have something we could talk about

Been an Ender's Game fan since back in the day.

Not like those books haven't gone WAY downhill either. I have to admit though, Ender's Shadow was a perfect counterpart to the original book, and nearly as good. I just wish Card wouldn't drag his great ideas out too far.

Admittedly, the rest of the series wasn't as good as the first, but it was still good reading, far as I'm concerned. At least he quit not too long after Ender died.

I'll read the seventh Harry Potter book only because I've read the other six, and I'm ready to be fucking done with it. I've been reading these books for the past 8 years.

Ah well. Either way, I won't get around to the new Harry Potter book until I've at least finished the fourth Dark Tower book. Stephen King's masterwork For Great Justice and The Win.

I only read classic literature these days

(on a more serious note, I know for a fact that one day someone will probably make me read Harry Potter books, and for that matter my brother will make me read Ender's Game and other Card books, and fucking everyone will make me read King's books (because apparently I'm always the only one who still hasn't), but eh... I'm in no rush. I'm far more partial to Dostoyevski, Bulgakov and Tolstoy these days than I am to anything particularly modern).

I did see a couple of the HP movies and I thought they were fun enough but really not anything that indicated some sort of good literature behind them. Am I wrong and are the books better than that?
