   In answer to the thread:   
   The Ender Series, Orson Scott Card   
   I read these last year.  I'm 60 plus and an avid reader of anything written-   
   Adam to the Atom Bomb.  I found these books to be uniquely well written for   
   the genre (or almost any, actually), as well as   
   spiritually/morally/philosophically challenging.  Not meaning to draw a   
   spiritual, moral or philosophical parallel in , but in reading these books I   
   experienced aha! moments similar in feeling when I first began reading   
   Anne's Rice's vampire chronicles.   
   It occurs to me that I should probably write down somewhere what it is that   
   my 'lit crit' would consist of.  :)   
   Blessings,
