This is actually a good book in a good series. The series is basically realistic-ish near future sci-fi about killer asteroids heading towards earth. Colorful spacesuits with Krang and Kodos-style bubble helmets were definitely not on the menu.

Boy, I’d love to see how you get on marking any type of english essay Adam.

Oh Adam, News of the World will be all over that like a simile in a sonnet .They shall translate it into something… devious.

UrbanDictionary says “homosexualality isn’t defined yet.” but it sounds pretty pretro, which sadly is already defined :’(

Simon: in the same way that I prefer ‘Lodfstar’ to ‘Lodestar’ I much prefer ‘homosexualality’ to ‘homosexuality’.

…yeah… I’d never have guessed from Ender Trilogy.
I read all the “The Tales of Alvin Maker” up untill i was about 13ish then i heard about Mormanism and my enjoyment of the books decreased exponentially… Alvin Maker books are completely Morman propoganda…. from then on i thought Card was a bit of a fag (South Park definition)

I think it may be. Adam’s views on homosexualality are in no way as headline grabbing as Orson’s though.

Sorry i forgot yours was the other way around…. Disemheaded Bodies…. thats even madder than what i thought it was about! You’re insane i tell ya.

Somehow, and i DO own a copy, it never really clicked that it was called “Land of the Headless” and not “Land of the Bodyless”. Shame on me. I actually read a book many many years ago by Orson Scott Card called Wyrms, which is basically the futurama version. I’m guessing yours is better.

Some Disemheaded Bodies was my first choice title for that novel; but Simon, the killjoy, wouldn’t let me have it.
