Women are to blame. They are the ones that buy those shit books and find that stupid nonsense sexy and romantic.

You could attempt not to be a dick. Its just polite.

I'll keep reading my Cosmos and Shakespeare and Neal Stephenson, and disproving your generalizations.

Not disagreeing. But those same kids are the ones that made The Hunger Games popular, which I have read. This is a much healthier message, that oppressiveness must be resisted, and the perpetrators abandoned if necessary. It teaches that a young woman can be strong, and indeed, a force in the world.

Twilight did no such thing, true, but it did make TV addled children believe that reading a book was worth their time.

Wow, not many like the hunger games. Well, thats fine I suppose. I thought it contained a good message, despite the violence. It's not Ulysses or anything, but meh.

If you can't tell, I like to follow pop culture books to get an idea of whats going through their heads.

Oh no. The hunger games were quite decent to kill an afternoon with. I read the first in some three hours in a bath. It was quite captivating. And the message was millions of times healthier. the angle of Love, The spirit of freedom. The horrors of Totalitarianism. And the level of force and brutality required to keep things in line.

Much, Much better than 'Even the supernatural world is full of pseudo rapists, and Assaulters but they are the best kind of asshole so date them.'

And there is nothing wrong with following the pop culture books. I just like my classics. Collins can wait until after I finish re reading Heinlein, and Card.

And William Gibson. *Smiles, for cyberpunk.*

You don't know him very well. Or at all. I don't think LI can stop being a dick. It's basically his charm.

It's true. Before it was Ann Rice. Rape and assault are common in many. Levels favored by women. We could argue for days what's be cause but it hardly matters. The point is that females create the demand. The industry just sates it.

I know quite a number of men who enjoy reading Ann Rice. Males create demand in different forms. So, I think it's far wiser to say that society creates the demand and the industry feeds it. Free commerce, go figure.

No, he really can't. He thinks it makes him cool and a rebel when, in fact, it just makes him a 17 year old ass.
 
Glad The Hunger Games has a better message. My 11 year old just finished the first and started the second in the series.

I enjoyed Ann Rice. Well Ok I enjoyed Interview. Tale of the Body Thief. Armand, and Vittorio. And I couldn't read any of the Beauty series at all.

The Hunger Games has an incredible message. Across genders.
Almost every protagonist who says they don't want to be a hero, or don't want to fight, or whatever, still kind of does.
Not here, not in these books.
I've seldom read anything that unromanticizes war better than these.

There is some merit in the 'violence against children' criticism, but the violence is not too bad. There is no torture or anything, as I recall.

If I had children, I would gladly encourage them to read it. :)

And, remember, all that violence is seriously condemned. Its seen as a horror by our protagonist and everyone who cares about her.

The best anti-war book I've ever read is 'The Forever War' by Joe Haldeman.

Supposedly the publishers wouldn't take it at first, because "No one wants to read a science fiction book about Vietnam."

I cried in a few places.

Welllllllllll....

I'm really really really not the best person to say I would put a limit on violence. So that wasnt even a background thought when reviewing the book before letting my son read it.

I still want people to read Ender's Game though. And where are we on that Movie?
Click to expand...

The movie is currently in preproduction and casting... it's moving forward. I do believe there have been some casting announcements, but I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment. :)

Okay...I wasn't so lazy... here is a link for the cast: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1731141/fullcredits

Hmm...Gavin Hood is directing... not sure how I feel about that.

And the movie is in post-production due out next year.

There seems to be a lot of 'grumblings' about this Fifty Shades of Grey. Keywords being thrown around are sexually explicit, not for younger readers and erotic.

There's this big debate on whether or not it should be age-restricted... Bollocks, sex is too taboo for most people's own good this day and age. Especially in the UK.
 
Enders Game was truly a great book. I didn't know they were making a movie. That makes me wish I could forget the story in time for it to come out.

It's kind of like the sixth sense. once you know, it's just not as fun.

In america, blowing a persons head off in graphic detail is totally fine.

but a little nip, heaven forbid.
