yes to everything said re: pooping on my chest
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
the government of one of humanity's colony worlds inflicted it upon certain citizens because OCD people are super-analytical and intelligent aside from their crippling brain problems
yes, I know
don't ask me, I didn't write the shit

Well you were super mature, as it's basically a book about justification about being bullied.
As an adult it was uncomfortable to read as it's an adult still trying to do all of this.
The end twist bit was fun. As was the battleroom. But I agree the overall messages in it were not strong.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
I think I was just too busy reading fantasy
And being totally confused by a part, when the main character has a shape shifting demon plastered over his body and getting aroused by it.
Literally zero frame of reference for that. I think my second book was The Valley of Horses. Because my mom figured I'd have no idea what the sex scenes in it were all about.
Such a perv.
The adults wanted genocide, the way I felt, Ender was basically playing the equivalant of a Starcraft game with his friends to test his tactics, since he'd give orders to his squads and they'd do shit and then their battles were fought by proxy. It's hard to say that he committed genocide because it'd be like finding out that your video game habit was killing people. It's easy to say that the people around him, including his mentor, committed genocide because they manipulated him into that situation. And they were willing to create total sociopaths and ruin the lives of children in order to do it. That's pretty fucked up.
And didn't the Buggers originally attack humans because they didn't understand that we weren't collective consciousness, so basically they (or it rather) thought that each person was basically a cell to the entire human experience? The epilogue was only a couple pages long and I didn't read any of the other books, keep in mind.

Ah, Xanth.
Lotta tits in Xanth.
Like, a lot.
Hahahaha holy shit no.
I got a 0 in my Public Speaking class because I straight up feared getting in trouble for refusing to do my assignments more than I did getting in front of the class to do my reports. I probably would have spontaneously ignited if I tried to give a book report on the literary pornography I was reading.
I can still dig on some Redwall, but I know exactly where you're coming from
Google+
I think they were about the Flying Dutchman?
I shouldn't remember this, but it was the cabin boy and his dog, and they are unaging. The captain's name was Vanderdecken. The only other thing I remember is that there were trains.

Like, 15 years later, after I had moved out and conversations with my mom could actually include topics involving sex without me going ewww, she accidentally admitted to doing this too.
Wasn't there telepathy there? And I think they ended up having crazy adventures. I remember liking a sequel more because the first book focused on stuff I didn't really care about, while the second one actually had swordfights and a romantic interest and stuff.
It was my first series which discussed the concept of traveling into the future by nature of relativistic space travel.
You also have characters that are written to be great, reliable friends from every corner of the world, race, sex, and religion.
A lot of the books are about the double-edged sword of being special, and to a greater degree, being hurt by not being able to communicate.
The heroes in these stories shape the world around them, but are also sacrificed and manipulated by other powers' ambitions. Characters learn that they need to be mindful, and actively observant concerning what they do. Heroes are revealed to be jaded, used up characters who look to their past and to their future with doubt, as well as purpose.
Multiple Book Spoilers
Both horrible alien races in these stories are essentially revealed to be misunderstood beings that operate within a different mindset of what reality is. All of the races' troubles stem from shared ignorance.
The stories based on Bean deal with coping with having a horrific terminal genetic disease, and what it means concerning love, kids, and his future.

The Tripod Trilogy
I'm sure there were some weird controversial things in that, but dang did it engage my young imagination.
Look I think we can all agree that Orson Scott Card is an unrepentant bigoted monster passing dangerous propaganda off as young adult entertainment, but that's no reason to disparage the time-honored American tradition and legacy of the fart joke.
