My husband and oldest son have been trying to get me to read Ender's Game for years.  They're very excited about the movie coming out in 2013.

THEY'RE MAKING A MOVIE OF IT?!  :DDDDDDD  ::goes to get more info immediately::

there is never a sudden revelation, a complete and tidy explanation for why it happened, or why it ends, or Why or Who you are. you want one and I want one, but there isn't one. it comes in bits and pieces, and you stitch them together wherever they fit, and when you are done you hold yourself up, and still there are holes and you are a rag doll, invented, imperfect. and yet you are all that you have, so you must be Enough. there is no other way.

Yeah, Orson Scott Card turned down a dozen other scripts over the years because he wants it done right (didn't like the scripts) and also was waiting for the the technology to be good enough to really make it shine. I think this is a great time for it as the kid warrior craze is big with hunger games, I just hope people don't think it's a rip off or something as the books been around for a long time. Very easily my favorite book, second or third favorite series.

Since we had so few nominations I am just putting it up now. I figured we should wait until we got more, but no more came, so it'll be up in a few minutes.

<-- is impatient, lol
