Ender's Game

[Vampyr]

I'm prepared to be disappointed. I'm not really upset that they upped the age of the children. 6 years old is pretty unreasonable.

And as much as I love the book, knowing that Orson Scott Card is a nutjob does kind of taint the experience for me.

And a supreme hater of homosexuals.

Yeah that's what I was referring to.

It's kind of strange, because Ender was an atheist.

If I remember right, he also died an atheist, and was proud of it. And I seem to recall him and Alai having moments that seemed beyond platonic.

Weird he would write such things while being such a religious homophobe.

Yeah a lot of moments in his novels seem to be a little bit homo.

I just re-read ender's game. There were some super iffy moments.

Don't forget all the naked children in the first novel. I mean he even has a fight between 2 nude children. LOL.
