Actually, there are kind of a lot of problems with the message in Ender's Game if you look at it with a critical eye. I enjoy the book, but part of it is that Ender is portrayed as a totally blameless murderer. It wouldn't be so problematic if Ender was a lot dumber than he was supposed to be, but can you seriously believe that Ender thought he was beating someone into submission rather than trying to kill them in the descriptions of his fights?
Here is an essay on a lot of the problems with the book. I don't necessarily agree with every point made, but most of it is pretty spot on from my readings.

Of course I refuse to give any money to Card anymore anyways. Fucking bigot.
Mister D Nomms:
I was already a huge Evangelion fan before I read Ender's game, so whiny protagonists and violent children do not bother me anymore.
Is it cold in here?:
_The Crisis of Zionism_, Peter Beinart.

I've been reading Ray Bradbury's short stories (R is for Rocket). It's undeniably sci-fi of the 'just go with it' variety. Otherwise, I like it.
Welu:
Finished Five People You Meet In Heaven. Simple enough, sweet wee story. Short, about 250 pages and jumps back and forth in time and through different scenarios but is very easy to follow. Read it over four nights so I'd recommend it if you're in between books.
Rereading Misery for the God-knows-what time now while I'm waiting for someone to lend me Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I've seen the film but long enough ego my memory has blurred slightly for the finer details and I won't be constantly comparing it.
