Description
WCN Book Club: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
About Ender's Game:
Ender Wiggin is Battle School's latest recruit. His teachers reckon he could become a great leader. And they need one. A vast alien force is headed for Earth, its mission: the annihilation of all human life. Ender could be our only hope. But first he must survive the most brutal military training program in the galaxy. Sci-fi to fall in love with, and characters you’ll love and a plot that is classic boarding-school literature at its best.
The theme of November's Book Club is 'Science Fiction- on another planet or a genre like any other?'
About the WCN Book Club:
The WCN Book Club provides a free, inclusive and welcoming environment for book lovers to come together and talk about books. We meet once a month for about an hour, – though sometimes conversation flows and we overrun! - to discuss a specific book, or books in general. Our tastes are
diverse; we seek to read world –class books from around the world, and we value exploring new genres, new authors, and new forms of writing.
There’s no need to reserve your place, just bring along your copy of the book in question, get a drink or snack from Cafe Marzano if you want one, and settle into a comfy chair. Complementary cake is sometimes provided. Discussion is relaxed and democratic and dissent is welcomed. We share our responses to the book in question. There are no right or wrong answers, no right or wrong ways of responding. Somewhere towards the end, we usually end up off topic, sharing some of the other books we’ve been reading or want to read.
Above all, the WCN Book Club believes in
The Rights of the Reader– whatever you read, however you read it, you’re welcome to join us and we look forward to meeting you.
For more book discussion and information on the titles we’re reading, join our social media pages on
Facebook and
Twitter.
