Well, right. Never mind that.

I'm actually giving a speech on hard science fiction at an oral symposium on campus, comparing and contrasting Heinlein and Star Wars.

I have this awesome slide of Tagge asking Tarkin where they are going to get the necessary exojoules to blow up an entire planet and spread its mass.

I really need to read the rest of the series. I've only read Ender's Game.

It's not hard sci-fi. It's mysticism. Fair warning.

Yeah. I read the second one. Not a fan. Honestly the aliens in that novel make the Ewoks look good.

I dunno, I enjoyed the books. I'm just a bit disillusioned because I thought they were the best thing ever, and then I found out they are at best average. Link to absolutely damning review by some guy with opinions.

truejedi Senior Member

no, cause i definitly have an opinion, and i'm not going to change it for "some guy".

Zampanó The Blind Critic

Oh, I didn't say I agree with the guy, just that he is a person with opinions. I think he goes a little far; the book (like porn) is enjoyable, and not without merit. He's got a good take on the battle sequences, if you ask me, though. (Note: I read the review somethink like 3 monghx aog)

truejedi Senior Member

ah, ok. I just don't want it to taint a part of my early adulthood that I remember as MOST enjoyable!

Zampanó The Blind Critic

See I read it while I was in seventh or eighth grade. It was more like "world-changing explanation of genius" and less like "entertaining story about blowing shit up." So I'm having rebellion against that because I'm now in a position to understand and enjoy things much more deeply. Also, bewbz.

The Ender series is ok but it's pretty weak next to some of the better Science Fiction stories out there.

If you want to experience the very best that the genre has to offer, look no further than:

The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov

The Light of Other Days, The Fountains of Paradise, A Fall of Moondust, The Songs Of Distant Earth, Childhood's End, The Space Odyssey Series, and The Rama Series, by Arthur C. Clarke

Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, I will Fear No Evil, and The Number of the Beast, by Robert A. Heinlein
