Shadows of the game

Wednesday, 25 October, 2006 at 10:34 pm

I was reading Shadow of the Giant, and I really liked one part that I read. ^_^;; The part where … uhhh … possible spoiler ahead … Ender’s “jeesh” got together. I don’t know why. It was just … fun. Like going back to the beginning, back to when the story was good.

(I don’t know why I keep reading the Shadow series. I thought Hegemon was poor, other than the war plotting and logistics and codes and whatnot. And in Giant, I don’t even really care about these characters. I mean, sure, I care about them, but that’s just because I cared about them in Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow; it’s like they’re riding off of someone else’s popularity. I just want to know how the kids from that story end up.)

2005 book list

Sunday, 8 January, 2006 at 12:48 am

Wheee, I remembered to update. :P Here’s a list of all the books I managed to read in 2005 (plus a few from 2004 >.>). (List started January 22, 2005.) I was trying to read 100 books in one year. I didn’t read that many, just half (including the few from 2004 ^^;). Another goal I’d like to accomplish in life is to read 100 books in one year! (Even though that would amount to reading one book every 3.65 days. …Unless I did it in a leap year, then it’d be 3.66 days…)

It’s kind of weird. I look over the list, and I think, Wow, I read that book then? It seems like so long ago… Like The Handmaid’s Tale or The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I want to reread Ender’s Shadow again. XD (Even though I already have about a half dozen books on my to-read list, not including class required reading. *ack*)

Also, wow, I’m gone for only one week and WordPress is updated. Hmmm, maybe I should leave other things alone and maybe they’ll get updated too… (Note to self, upgrade WordPress after backing up current state.)

Ender’s Game

[boring stuff deleted] I don’t know what else to say. I don’t want this to be a journal-type blog, where I recount all the happenings of the day. I think that’d be irritating and boring. Nothing happens to me anyway (I mean, non-inspiration-wise, you know).

Oh. I finished reading Ender’s Game. O_o Bean like … overestimated him … either that, or Card (how does a kid grow up with the name Orson?) didn’t quite extoll Ender enough the first time he went through the story … or maybe it’s because I’m not reading this book in English class and therefore am ignorant of a lot of the little thingamabobbers. :b Hah. Let’s say no. I don’t know why.
