Make Yourself $5.80 Young, aggro, and from Los Angeles–it’s tempting to put Incubus in the already crowded category populated by Korn, System of a Down, and their other loud and heavy brethren. But that would sell Incubus short, because Make Yourself, the quintet’s sophomore album, is a strong progression beyond their 1997 debut, S.C.I.E.N.C.E.. More like Faith No More than Limp Bizkit, Incubus still have that teen-…

The Names $11.99 Set against the backdrop of a lush and exotic Greece, The Names is considered the book which began to drive "sharply upward the size of his readership" ( Los Angeles Times Book Review ). Among the cast of DeLillo’s bizarre yet fully realized characters in The Names are Kathryn, the narrator’s estranged wife; their son, the six-year-old novelist; Owen, the scientist; and the neurotic narrator obsessed with his own neuroses. A thriller, a mystery, and still a moving examination of family, loss, and the amorphous and magical potential of language itself, The Names stands with any of DeLillo’s more recent and highly acclaimed works. " The Names not only accurately reflects a portion of our contemporary world but, more importantly, creates an original world of its own."– Chicago Sun-Times "DeLillo sifts experience through simultaneous grids of science and poetry, analysis and clear sight, to make a high-wire prose that is voluptuously stark."– Village Voice Literary Supplement "DeLillo verbally examines every state of consciousness from eroticism to tourism, from the idea of America as conceived by the rest of the world to the idea of the rest of the world as conceived by America, from mysticism to fanaticism."– New York Times

Ender's Saga, a sci-fi stand

January 1985 marks the beginning of the U.S. romance with Ender Wiggin. It was that month that Ender's Game was published and became an instant hit, and "probably the novel by popular science fiction published in the last twenty years" (John Kessel). The child prodigy and savior of the earth, Ender Wiggin, had appeared seven years earlier in a story published in Analog Science Fiction magazine. Written by Orson Scott Card had spent much of his young life at work in print, but had only to write science fiction when his meager salary as correction in a small printing press did not pay a debt of a failed business. His magazine article won immediate attention, and Orson Scott Card won 1978 John C. Award Campbell Best New Writer at the World Science Fiction Convention. But little by Ender was destined for bigger things.

Orson Scott Card saw the potential of its young protagonist and instantly set to work developing a work of fiction longer. Already had two novels in mind, Ender's Game and its sequel Speaker of the Dead, published the following year in 1986. Card made history by winning the prestigious Nebula and Hugo awards in two consecutive years. No other author has accomplished this feat to date (2006). Since then, Ender's Game has been translated into sixteen languages, and resulted in two series.

The first set includes Ender's Game (1985), President of the Dead (1986), Genocide (1991), Children of the Mind (1996), and First Meetings (2002). The saga follows Ender as he grows to adulthood and addresses the moral and ethical issues raised in its infancy.

The second series starts with a parallel saying the original Ender's Game, but through the eyes of Bean. Titled Shadow Ender (1999), is the first of the Shadow series, followed by Shadow of the Hegemon (2001), Shadow Puppets (2002) and The Shadow The Giant (2005).

Ender's Game has been called "the science fiction novel for people who think like science fiction." Truly appealing to a wide audience. It's in the list of top books for college students, and has been adopted as required reading in many secondary schools and college classes. Card explains that the focus on human history as it reveals, rather than the elements of science fiction, is what gives the power of the novel's readers. Essentially, the card says, readers should refer to and care deeply about the characters. Beyond that, he admits that the use of computer networks and the "mental game" in the book are features that attract many readers.

Ender claimed the spotlight again in late 1990, when the rumor learned that a movie was scheduled. In fact, Warner Brothers announced in 2002 plans to produce the film. Director Wolfgang Peterson, known for its Poseidon's recent film, Troy and The Perfect Storm, joined by screenwriter David Benieff (Troy). The film is expected to hit theaters in 2008. After winning the first prize offered in science fiction literature, one wonders what is still in store for Ender Wiggen.
