Haha, Ender's Game was the first sci-fi book I ever read, back in highschool. It turned me onto the genre initially. Grea book, although the rest of the series gets more and more odd as you go. And I agree on what you said about him as a person.

Local library, forgot they do audio books now. Great suggestion for the frugal minded. I like the long, epic stories as they really get me sucked in, and I end up looking forward to my ride, so I can get back to it. Sadly, I don't ever get a chance to listen to my books other than traveling to and from work.
