The Bean books were so godawful I have no interest in anything more in that universe. Not even a twinge of "Oh, if only OSC weren't such a toxic waste pit of a human being" type regret over not finishing that series.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, by the time I slogged through the last one of those, I was so over the whole thing. He did put out another book, Ender in Exile, a few years ago, but whatever.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
I threw Ender's Shadow across the room when I finished it, and never look backed. I'd've lit it on fire if I'd had a grill at the time.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I really enjoyed Ender's Shadow - what about it inspires bookburning in the rest of you? (Not being smartass - genuinely interested).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know, I really like passionate responses to things we read. The mental image of Polgara grilling a book will sustain me for the rest of the day.
This image brings me life!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Certain Kindles are 15% off today only. As far as I can tell, regular Kindles and Fires, yes. Paperwhites, no.

Me too, except I didn't finish it*. Petra's transformation from an actual character with her own thoughts and feelings into Bean's fucking baby-factory? FEH FEH FEH FEH FEH PTUI FEH.
*A rare moment where self-control triumphed over completism. I was not so lucky with the Dune prequels.

The mental image of Polgara grilling a book
She ties it to a chair, shines a bright light on it, and demands it answer the ultimate question: "WHY?"

Hold on, I need a refresher on spoiler tags. Everything I'm clicking is giving me "No input specified" errors....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just use "s" at the beginning of a line.
