Too much artsy fartsy and not enough smartsy smartsy.

Hmmm… So does this mean OSC endorsed suicide bombing as the best means to defeat a superior foe? Interesting.

And the supply of rubber bands is endless.

Uh-Oh, so you actually went in the hole then, huh?

And LGF is big enough to be annoying and kept on wikipedia, where as Sadly, no is not.

So there you have it. The problem is that Sadly, No! is not annoying enough for Wikipedia. Something must be done, and I think we’re just the ones to do it! Here’s a thank you to Gary, Annie and all the other trolls who have already done so much to help; now it’s up to the rest of us to step up and do whatever we can to make S,N! annoying enough to avoid wikilimination!

Though if the standard for sufficient annoyance is LGF, I fear the task may be impossible.

I honestly think I lost twenty IQ points just reading a chapter and a half.

spacemonkey, you read the whole thing, didn’t you?

Oddly enough, even though I’m a huge Ursula K. Le Guin fan, I liked Ender’s Game and thought Speaker for the Dead was lame.

The entire rest of the series is actually about how the Buggers weren’t bad guys at all, and how Ender personally atones for history’s greatest crime. I shit you not.

“You don’t gasp by saying “gaspâ€?. Yeah… bad writing. I guess OSC goes off my “to readâ€? list… not that he was ever all that high up on it to begin with.”

Um, that excerpt was made up. You might have noticed the fact that the post said so.

Ender’s Game is decent as a lead-in to the quite good Speaker for the Dead. However, Speaker for the Dead is only good because it feels like OSC is doing his Ursula K. Le Guin impression.
