Ender Trivia and Tabbing

I think I want to do another side application that will be all about Ender's Game Trivia. There are a few things I already have on the list, but I would like any of you that want to contribute to post additional ideas. I can use all the help I can get.

Also my life has just been added the wonderful experience of tabbing my scriptures which makes me really want to tab my markup copy of EG. It would not be that hard--just a little time consuming. The first step is to find common points in the book. So if you have any suggestions about theme elements or important repeated messages it would be great to hear from you.

I am very excited about a lot of things--and I hope everyone is doing great! Smile!!

Speech Class

I knew there was a reason that I took a speech class in college. Spread the Card love--that is my goal. It's really exciting! I am going to give another this is what Card has done for me speech. And those are just way too fun.

It's an object speech--so I think I will bring one of my copies of Ender's Game. Maybe the one I mark-up...or the first copy I ever got. Oh. Maybe I should take my signed copy...wow. I really need to figure it out.

Anyway, I am just excited to have other people know how I feel.

There are seldom things going on in the Card front with my friends right now. Currently everyone is passing around various distopia novels. Namely The Giver--but also Harrison Bergeron by Vonnegut. It is just so much fun to discuss distopias together. Um...I did give a copy of EG to my fiancee. He says he'll read it when he gets time. I think he better get time soon. jk.

More later--

Ahh! Failure...

Okay, so there goes my every week promise right out the window. Sorry.

I haven't finished A Storyteller in Zion yet. Sorry.

I have just started another semester at the BC. (LDSBC). So I don't know how regular my posts will be. Sorry.

On a non-apologetic note: I have started thinking in Third person. So if I accidentally say "we" ...sorry. :P

Time for Card stuff! I have again lent out even more Card love to friends and family. My brother reveled in reading A War of Gifts and he is now reading Ender's Stocking online. I haven't been really successful in buying more books, but I will write some essays on what I've read. That way it'll be new stuff.

I want to have someone besides me on here, so I think that I will have a friend write up some reviews on some of the books. They will be outdated, but it will be more entertaining than listening to me...again. Thanks for reading!!
