I've always felt that I owed a lot to the book Ender's Game. It was an incredibly uncomfortable read, but it taught me that being a smart kid didn't make me better than the people around me or give me license to screw other people over.

Interestingly it did not give me the idea of being a blogger, since I thought no one would listen to a real blogger π
When I was young I told people I didn't like Ender's Game. Then when I got older and realized the value of reading well-written things that made me uncomfortable, I realized I *did* like it.
We need more stories that tell people: "The true villain of your life's story is YOU, and the cruel things people do to you are just part of your tragic backstory."
Of course this isn't true for all people, but it's something everyone could benefit from thinking about.
