I only read scientific literature since I need if for my studies, but other books do not interest me at all... All those games spoiled me, reading books is too boring now :/

Finished reading the complete Dune series, then went straight to Enders Game at the demands of my friends. God that book is awful.

Don't mess with Orson Scott Card, bro.

Like I said, I had just finished reading the Dune series, which handles the concept of adult children far better. I liked Peter's speech about how he had planned murder from childhood, but after that, the book just abandons the concept.

Also, explain to me why having the enemy gate be your frame of reference is such a tactically superior strategy compared to any other arbitrary point in 3D space. The whole book is built upon these unsound principles that make Ender out to be a genius.

Right now I am interested in one author ....

David Morrell

Everything I read by him I like. I have already read Creepers and am now really enjoying The Shimmer.

Good stuff

Actually, what I thought made him a genius was that he won. I don't remember the part you're talking about, but I definitely remember that he was just kicking ass in battle school.

If I remember correctly its because if you make the enemy gate down from your point of view, it gives the opposing team a much smaller target.

How does changing your reference point change the size of your enemy's target? It makes no sense.

I mainly read historical novels. If I had one book to recommand, it would be "Fortitude" written by Larry Collins. It's an amazing book on espionage during WWII.
