Yeah, it's really great. Never tire reading it. I would throw the Foundation series by Asimov in the top 5 too, though there's like a million books in it. Nonetheless it's classic hard science fiction and legendary in sci-fi literature.

I hope not. Asa Butterfield will star as Ender. He was the kid from Hugo and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. It also will have an all-star cast including Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Abigail Breslin and more. It's going to be directed by Gavin Hood who did X-Men Origins" Wolverine.

One thing I wonder how they will deal with it is the fact a large portion of the novel is just Ender sitting in front of computer monitors running simulations. Curious as to how they will not make that monotonous in a movie version.

As of now it's slated to be released November of 2013.
