Not being a big sci-fi reader, I only vaguely knew of Orson Scott Card and his anti-gay standpoint before nominating Ender's Game, but decided to nominate it to possibly see what the fuss was about since a film is coming out; I thought at the least it could've made for a lively discussion thread. Now I've realised that his views are more extreme than I'd thought, but I still think I'll try to read the book sometime to judge the story and his writing for myself. Although this will probably be one of those now-rare times that I use a library for a pbook or buy a copy of it from a second-hand book store so as not to give any money towards the author.
