I'm glad someone mentioned Enders Game, that was my book growing up!
I just started reading starship troopers, never even knew it was a book. written in 1959 it is considered on of the 100 best works of fiction in the last 100 years. I don't know what they hell they did with the movie because the book is completely different and is insane for being written in 59! really good.
