If you don't recognize this sentence, stop reading my blog, go buy a copy of Ender's Game and read it.

No, seriously go read it, it's much better than this blog by a factor of seventy gazillion. So good that I have to invent numbers like seventy gazillion to describe the comparison. For those of you who HAVE read it, you know exactly what I'm talking about, and hopefully won't mind being reminded by me. For those of you who haven't still haven't read it despite my insistence, let me explain a bit. Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card is a Hugo and Nebula award winning sci fi book. If you don't like science fiction, don't worry. While the story is set in the future, the focus is never on the trappings of futuristic gadgetry. Instead, Card gives an intriguing story that is extremely psychological, intelligent and well worth reading.
A word of warning to my readers though, there is some use of profanity in the book. It's mostly what some would term mild, but it is present, along with some crude humor on the part of children in the plot, and I would be remiss to recommend a book without letting you know that. You are now informed.
If you like sci fi and books that make you think, I suggest you read it at once. If you don't... rethink life decisions that you have made, learn to like intelligent fiction, and read it anyway.
(Author's note: I realize many intelligent people do not enjoy reading science fiction and will in no way be responsible for any insult caused by lack of understanding of this by the reader.)
