Intro

I am Theo Culhane. My full first name means gift from god, and Theo means god. I have been to 36 countries in my life. I am in eighth grade at The Logan School in Max and Kam's class. When I grow up I would like to be a unicorn, a mermaid, a chemist, or an engineer. That list is in order of top choice to fourth choice. I like to hike and fish.

Three books that I like are:
1.) The Killer Angels by Michel Shara
I like this book because I think it captures the feelings of the soldiers well. Also, it explains the tactics well.
2.) Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
I thought this was a good book about a super awesome person. It also shows how horrible war is. However, boycott the movie, because the author is a sexist, racist person.
3.) Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card
Another great book by a stupid person. This is a great science fiction book about a parallel universe. A good book that I couldn't put down.

  3. The Killer Angels sounds interesting. I should look into getting it. Also, I didn't know all that stuff about the author of Ender's game, learn something new every day.

  4. Theo,
    I read many books about the military/war but have never heard of The Killer Angels. Thank you for the suggestion; I will read it.

  6. I have not read any of your books but I continue to hear great things about Ender's Game. If you enjoy a good war novel, my favorite is "Battle Cry" by Leon Uris! It follows a bunch of soldiers through the Pacific during WWII and it is hilarious, intense, sad and uplifting. Let me know if you want to check it out and I can bring it from home.

    1. Dreamlike is definitely the right word. Ender's Game is sort of abstract in a way; I don't know, it's really intriguing.
