Things get more complex, and richer, while a new societal-religious-scientific mystery on another planet, crucial to our friends, adds breadth and flavor

(Language: English)
A completely different level of work than Ender's Game. Following him 3,000 years later (lots of light speed traveling extending his history-span) This is Deep but Exciting Anthropological Sci-Fi that poses endless ethical questions about dealing with different kinds of alien life, human family life, funeral rituals, of human and alien religions and ecosystems not "fitting" together, of still-advancing technology, and of dealing with a now impossibly-universe-sized bureaucracy.

(Language: English)
Surrealistic and bizarre, and somewhere, there is meaning here.

(Language: English)
Straddles so many lines between: YA and adult fiction, sci-fi and literature, military and anti-military, action and philosophy. But first, foremost: Ender Wiggin. Reading him think is like taking a course in Life 101.

(Language: English)
The underseen film is a decent emotional gut punch as well. And the lead in that film, Kristin Stewart, is going on to be the immortal Bella in the soon-to-begin Twilight films.

(Language: English)
Best of the Potters. This is a book about the corruption of the legal system, the government, and the media, which results in the triumph of oppressive lies, which must be fought. Best of the Potters. This is a book about the corruption of the legal system, the political system, and the media, exploring the oppressive, if hopefully temporary, triumph of lies in our world. Yes, in our world.

(Language: English)
Comic genius, flawlessly transcendent passages, fearless realism, tangled up in a plot as meandering as the Mississippi River around which it takes place.

Haven't read it since university--but it stuck in my memory. I need to read it again.
