/random comment on your literature post since I tend to browse when I add new friends
I see you were reading the Ender's Game series. The third book, following Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead, which is Xenocide, is fairly different than the first two, and somewhat difficult to get through (by "somewhat difficult," I mean when I first tried to read the series, I threw it at my wall; I was eleven, but it was still annoying as all fuck, what with being what felt like a biology dissertation). The fourth book, however, Children of the Mind, is brilliant and gorgeous, and I thoroughly recommend it, which means you sort of have to muscle through Xenocide (who knows -- maybe you won't hit the hiccough, though if you aren't generally a hardcore scifi person, it's a pretty staggering hiccough).
