With quals done, I finally have some time to catch up on my reading. Ender's Game is a sci-fi classic by Orson Scott Card. The book is about a genius kid who is being trained to become the commander of Earth's fleet against alien (Buggers) invasion.
The story is fast paced and interesting. I particularly liked the Battle School training. And then there is a very interesting and thought provoking twist in the end. I am now trying to lay my hands on the other books of The Ender Series.
The most noble title any child can have is Third.Posted by ankit at July 2, 2025 09:03 PM | TrackBackIndividual human beings are all tools, that the others use to help us all survive.
Human beings didn't evolve brains in order to lie around on lakes. Killing is the first thing we learned. And a good thing we did, or we'd be dead, and the tigers would rule the earth.
There is no teacher but the enemy.
The next one in the series - Speaker for the Dead - is even better. It does not have the pace and action
of Ender's Game but Im sure you'd like it.

Yea, I've heard a lot about Speaker for the Dead. Cant find it in the library though :(
Rohit/Ankit,
Somehow didn't like the Speaker for the Dead. Loved Ender's Game. It is one of my favourites.
Have found a guy in Hyd who is big time into Sci-Fi. Will prolly exchange stuff with him.
BTW, either of you try Jason Cosmo?
Cheers,
Dhar
