The Sword of Truth books? If so, then you should/should never watch that series. It completely mangles the books in a hilariously awful way.

Bioshock kind of piqued my interest in her work, I guess.

Same here, but I can't find a copy anywhere.

Goddamn Philippine bookstores not stocking goddamn books by goddamn Ayn Rand.

No, Ender's Game (plus the rest of the series, once through--not the Shadow quartet, though), Hitchhiker's Series, and 1984.

I loved Ender's Game.

Never read any of the sequels; are they any good as well?

I adored them, but most people hate 'em.  I think it may be due to the extreme tone shift, but I thought they were fascinating explorations, albeit in a different vein than Ender's Game itself.  A bit less adventure-novelish and a bit more philosophical, I suppose.

Ah, I see.

Thank'ee kindly.

Also, I'm happy because I enjoyed a nice hot meal of breaded pork chops. Mmm.

depends who you ask.

I enjoyed the sequels too.  I didn't hear about the apparent hate for them until a while after reading them.  It has been a while, maybe I should read them through again.

So my crundles are staying intact unless they're newly spawned... until they are exposed to anything that isn't at room temperature.  This mostly seems to mean blood, specifically, their own.  Then they go poof very quickly.
