was thinking of reading robert heinlein's "starship troopers" heard it inspired enders game and some of my fav video games (tribes / starcraft) but was going to read "stranger in a strang land" first

didnt know enders game was a series, thought it was just a short story

and da fuq twilight series? is that what those gay movies are based on?

starship troopers is much different than the movie.

From what I've read, the ender's game move is going to be BAD. They are trying to build a new harry potter series basicall.y

You haven't even read the book, just the short story? You really need to read the book, the book was written because of the success of the short story.

The Ender's Game series goes like this:
1. Ender's Game
2. Speaker for the Dead
3. Xenocide
4. Children of the Mind

There's a more recent book that takes place between Speaker for the Dead and Ender's Game called Ender in Exile but I haven't read it myself (came out in 2008).

Then Card wrote an entire parallel series called the Shadow series that shows things from Bean's point of view.

1. Ender's Shadow
2. Shadow of the Hegemon
3. Shadow Puppets
4. Shadow of the Giant
5. Shadows in Flight

Apparently there is a new Shadow book coming out in the next couple years as well.

Eff you. Harry Potter was awesome.

Also, check out the Kingkiller books as was already mentioned. They're pretty solid high fantasy and the 3rd one comes out soon.
