Ender's Game and the sequels ... read them all more than one time... are okay, but to me they get far more credit than they deserve in terms of literary masterworks of their genre. OSC always tries hard, you can see that... but he is about as shallow as Stephen King. I CAN imagine the movie being better than the book because in movies I am anxious to just get on with things, from an author I expect so much more. Tolkien's LOTR I find myself never tiring of. I re-read the trilogy and the Hobbit... and think Peter Jackson's adaptations are great and re-watch them often whether they are faithful to the author's works or not doesn't bother me a bit. Alas, Ender's Game is destined to become a classic for the wrong reason (s) the same as, say, the Dark Tower novels will one day be classics... because they found popularity in an age where literacy rates were their highest but standards only slightly above Marvel comics get literary accolades. Ender Smash Bugger World Roland Shoot Lobstrocity. OH AND MAN! DOES OSC GET PREACHY, while playing "On The Other Hand..." with every thought expressed by his main and tertiary characters. He does that in all his novels and it is soooo painful to get through the self-dialog. Enuff said, now let's get back to append vs toggling recordsource in order to rebuild using table queries.Maybe trying to work with tables that are bound to controls would be slower than otherwise??
