Some of his I've hated, some I've loved, some I've been pretty indifferent to. But wow, I never realized they were all the same story before! Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Am looking forward, sometime in the future, OSC's take on faeries.

Ann, Sandy, I didn't mean to create suspense! I've just posted about the other one and your comments spurred me to write it quicker. Sandy, I've gone way longer than one month without posting. My archives show not one post between November and March last year. :-P Char, I haven't heard anything about the movie recently, but I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to hear him say "remember, the enemy gate is down." And, thanks. :-) Crit, I thought that interview was fascinating too. In fact I had been thinking of writing a post about what to do when you can't stand your favorite author's politics, but she wrote it so much better than I ever could! Fred, thanks!

Yeah, it was entertaining enough, but I don't believe I was overly impressed with it. Aren't they (still) supposed to be making an "Ender's Game" movie? Where is it? I want to see it! It's interesting that you bring up your notion that Card keeps writing the same thing over and over again. I never really thought about it, but you're right! Especially Bean and Ender--they were like the same boy. You're one smart cookie, Julie, and you're becoming one of my favorite bloggers! I I read this a long time ago.
