I think there are plenty of books to come off this list before Ender's Game.  It is one of the best Young Adult sci-fi books.

I don't think that strongly enough to give it a vote right now, though.

You're right, I did.  Must've forgotten to turn a page.  I've gone back and modified the original post so that it now comes off the preceding post.

Thanks.

Sorry to abuse my unfair powers once more, but I'm only going to allow one or two new books on the list before it gets "locked" as it were. There's still time, so if there's a book you feel must be in with a chance, start it up with three points.

Brave New World should still be on the list with 1 point. Raving Lunatic gave it a point earlier but forgot to change the point total (it had 1, he gave it +1 but left it at 1).

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
