    Kids being trained to be the world's greatest military minds in order to fight aliens
    Ender is the best of them because instead of just learning what they teach, he shows an ability to think outside the box and come up with insane ways to get shit done

    that cover is still better than 'looking off into the distance and firing a pistol: the return: this time it's personal: requiem'

    It's not particularly difficult to follow if you think about it even a little bit. Some very, very stupid people have grasped the concept of it and subsequent;y think it's the best movie ever.

    I just read the first Discworld novel after hearing so many people rave about it. I enjoyed it, but I don't feel the need to read on.
    Give The Light Fantastic a shot, or maybe one of the more recent ones. I wasn't too impressed by the first book either.

    Yeah, my first Discworld book was Monstrous Regiment. I reread it later on when I knew more about the characters as well. Ever since then I've tried reading them in chronological order.

    Monstrous Regiment was the dumbest discworld book I've read, and I've read all of them up to Wintersmith.

    It kept getting me though, which pissed me off. The first couple of times it was an interesting twist, but from then on it was like "Pratchett's a good writer, it would be so stupid if he pulled that again, so he probably - goddammit.

    Monsterous Regiment is the worst Discworld novel. It just falls apart at the end.

    But luckily you know you have no where to go but up from it.

    There is a simple flowchart for Discworld books:

    Does it have Vimes or Death as a major character? (cameos don't count)
    If yes, the book is great.
    If no, the book is half as great.

    Only exception is Small Gods.

    PS The worst, worst, worst is Moving Pictures. Pratchett is often guilty of Trying too Hard, but that was by far the most egregious example.

    Moving Pictures was pretty great until the end got a bit ham-fisted.

    Monsterous Regiment was just hackneyed.

    Oh, yeah, that reminds me. Because I wasn't around to mention it earlier:

    Ender's Game is the most overrated shit.

    Where the hell is Naporeon when I need him? Tag-team ragging on Ender's Game is, like, our thing.

    The hell that's an "argument."

    That'd be a game of checkers where you think we're playing chess.

    Also, each individual checker would be a pile of cow shit.

    Nah

    If you seriously think it's worthy of debate, you're already so far down your little rabbit hole of retardation that I ain't about to waste my time.

    It's like you don't realize that people pay attention to the shit you post elsewhere and make a mental note that you aren't worth engaging in intelligent conversation.
    Here's where you point out that by posting this, I'm engaging you in conversation. Say it, you know you want to

    There was like a whole story arc in Something Positive where one of the characters couldn't decide if he should confront Orson Scott Card about his personal beliefs at a book signing.

    Considering that that comic is like 2/3 word balloons, I'm sure that there's enough written on the subject there to make up for us not discussing this shit. Like, ever.
