Ming is starting Ender’s Game (Ender's Saga, #1)
Weird thing, but after watching Shippidge's Starter Squad and how Caterpie treated Squirtle, I decided to re-read Ender’s Game.

I read it once, long time ago, in primary school. Some glimpses, some memories in the residue of past time. I don't remember the rest, so pretty much like a first read, except I'm waiting for that jolt of deja vu.

Still waiting. But in the meantime, turn the page.

"Just because a problem seems impossible does not mean that it is impossible Never admit defeat after a cursory glance. Begin optimistically; assume that the problem can be solved. Only after several failed attempts should you try to prove impossibility. If you cannot do so, then do not admit defeat. Go back to the problem later."

Ming is 45% done with The Vast Fields of Ordinary
“My dad is not an appendix. People aren’t disposable. People’s problems aren’t disposable. You might think it’s cool to say you don’t care about anything, but you do. You care just as much as anyone else. Pretending you don’t makes you just like Pablo and Judy and all those assholes. You’re not lonelier than anyone else in the world.”

On the men's emotional response to Shackleton's orders to shoot the dogs:
“It was the basic human need to love something, the desire to express tenderness in this barren place. Though the dogs were vicious, surly beasts with one another, their devotion and loyalty toward the men was above question. And the men responded with an affection greatly surpassing anything they would have felt under ordinary circumstances.”
