Let's get the book club started! ~for once First book that gets 5 votes will be our first book to read and discuss. If you really want another book that isn't listed in the Poll, then post it and if 4 other people post that book as well, then that will be the one we read. I'm not sure how long it takes everyone to read, also these books vary greatly in length, so I guess just start discussing when you're done. When we've beaten the book to death, we can move on to the next one and have a new poll and new topic for it. Here's to BD's Book Club! *cheers*

Oh sorry Andromeda o.O I thought I had read everything I missed during my ban...guess I missed a page...wasn't sure what you were talking about until now...I'm sorry The last two sentences are...

"And always Ender carried with him a dry white cocoon, looking for the world where the hive-queen could awaken and thrive in peace. He looked a long time."

o.O Wonder what that means...? XD

I only got about 20 minutes of reading last night, but I read 5 or so chapters so I still think I'm relatively caught up. I'll read more tonight

[Guest]

I finally managed to make an appointment with the library which shall occur tomorrow. In exchange, I have to stay off BD Oops.

[Guest]

Read the first 100 pages and got hooked

Reminds me of Split Infinity

I finished the book earlier today, it's very good Very moving and deep, I thought. I have the sequel too, so I may start reading that, not sure. The book surprised me pretty well in a couple of places, I enjoyed it ;D

[Guest]

Dang...I thought I would have finished it faster D: I'm only on chapter...dang...12 I think...it'll definately be done by this weekend I'm babysitting tomorrow night, and since I'm there till 11...I'll be reading for a while XD

<(^-^)>

[unreality]

Why does reading speed matter?

Also it'll be fun to discuss, I'll wait til more people finish

Because...I really don't know o.O But I always feel good about how quickly I can finish a book

So do I ^-^

Crap, I'm late getting into this one. I thought the thread was something about the first good book that we had ever read... I was going to suggest Orwell's 1984. Eh, lemme go back and check up on the discussion in the thread

Edit: well it looks like I'm coming in a little late for book #1. Hopefully I can get in on #2

Once I'm done re-reading, I'm probably going to go ahead and start writing RD's for an Ender's Game Mafia. I'll be co-hosting a separate mafia with Impervious first, to get the gist of things, but yeah.

[unreality]

Ender's Game Mafia? basically destroying the philosophy of the book ;D

[Izzy]

Hehe, a bit. But think of its potential!

[unreality]

I don't know... possibly, if done correctly

[Izzy]

Uh-huh. I was considering multiple teams, with recruits, a Violet/Peter alliance (with some sort of win condition for them), and lots of mind manipulation. I just haven't thought of an interesting way to include the buggers yet.

[Guest]

So peoples, are we done reading the book?

[Guest]

On Chapter 13 (of 15 for those who didn't know) No offence Izzy...but I don't think Ender's Game mafia would work...good luck with it...I'll stick with the classic mafias...but THIS IS NOT THE THREAD FOR MAFIA Thank you

i haven't actually got the book yet, but i'll get it soon.

yeah same!

so want to hush hush those people who have read it please...

i get it tomorrow though... hopefully.

[Guest]

^-^ Everyone, don't worry you still have one week

[andromeda]

I kinda don't have any time right now ... I started working but I have it and I'll read it when I get the time!

[unreality]

I've been reading the sequel - not as good as Ender's Game so far IMO, but decent

[Guest]

I kinda don't have any time right now ... I started working but I have it and I'll read it when I get the time!

Same. With BD and school and an overload of tests and projects, I barely have the time to read a chapter a day. But it looks fantastic so far! I'm strangely reminded of the Giver, since in Ender's Game, it also creates a futuristic world that was created from a near end of the world situation...but I probably can't give a good reflection on the book until I finish the other 200 pages

[unreality]

ST: the general genre is called postapocalyptic fiction - but Ender's Game would be like semi-postapocalyptic fiction

Good examples of post-a fiction are the Giver (which I don't really like actually), the City of Ember and its sequels (really good books, though the original is the best), and other stuff like that

[Guest]

Then shall we try City of ember for the next book? But, lets wait for star tiger, peace*out, kathleen, andromeda, dms172, and clozobozo to finish k? ^-^
