Ender's Game? Harry Potter? You sicken me.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

I think Ender's game is popular among the nerd's because it is the tale of one smart kid who gets picked on and then saves the world. Harry Potter is dorky and popular, so it kind of swamps everything.

Ender's Game I adored, but Harry Potter I am surprised by.

Catch-22 sucked balls.

The real question is how much Harry Potter smutty fanfic is coming out of the CMU network. Maybe there are Harry Potter/Ender's Game crossovers!

Come now. Can you come up with 5 books that you would have liked to see there? Let's see you "do better." :) You need to pick 5 books that don't sicken any of your CMU alums on your friends list.

Personally, I'm an Ender and a Potter fan, which probably makes me a bit of a lowest common denominator. I am officially sticking up for nerd easy-reading. I love it. Have you read Harry Potter? That shit is captivating! No joke!

Yeah, I was having a pissy day. I didn't mean anything against Shawn's dislike of Harry Potter.

I'm not exactly "on" facebook, but I'd like to see what, say, Stanford, Pitt, MIT, and ... Duke have as their aggregate top 5.
