That's funny to me because I agree with her.

Posted by Zevlag (Member # 1405) on :

As do I.

Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :

I also agree with her!

Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :

Hehe. That girl is me.

How long will it take us to find the seven? Not long, it seems.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I've never been able to forgive Xenocide for only being half a novel when I expected it to be a full novel.

hehe

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

I saw that, and am ashamed to say that I didn't even think of posting it [Blushing]

But it was preeety good. And incidentally we have four of the seven already [Big Grin]

Posted by Andrew W (Member # 4172) on :

I totally agree with the guy, not so much about Speaker, but Ender's Game? Any day.

I'm a Xenocide preferrer.

What happens when we hit seven? [Angst]

Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :

Xenocide is my favourite, too. Not just from the Ender series but from all of the Card books I've read.

Posted by brojack17 (Member # 9189) on :

I liked it. I should start reading that one on a regular basis. I only see it when people post them here.

Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :

Ditto brojack. Thanks for the link Nick!

Posted by theamazeeaz (Member # 6970) on :

I have to say that I like Speaker the best.

Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :

Xenocide has a chapter that I like the best out of the series, but Speaker to me is the best book... In fact the chapter I love in Xenocide is written very much in the Speaker way (or so it seems to me), which would explain it.

I just found out that the guy who writes xkcd lives in Somerville. Have any Boston rackers met him?

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

Ender's Game is my favorite of the series.

No one else can possibly like it, duh [Razz]

If they say they do, they must be lying [Wink]

Posted by Lupus (Member # 6516) on :

xenocide was the first OSC book that I read.

my father had it on his bookshelf...who knows where the other books had gone. I picked up the other books later on.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

There can be more than 7 fans, but there can only be seven angry fans.

Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :

Speaker is my favorite OSC book too. I thought Xenocide was really good, too, though. I was one of the ones who was surprised at the end when it didn't resolve. I thought it was a trilogy up to the very end of Xenocide. [Smile]

That's not what it said. It said "angry letters from all seven fans."

And you call yourself hyperliteral. Hah!

You lost me.

Was that in the comment section or is it some other in joke?

Posted by dantesparadigm (Member # 8756) on :

The mouse-over text reads "Cue angry letters from all seven fans of Xenocide."

A lot of Xkcd's humour comes from the alt text, and a lot of times it helps explains the more obscure jokes.

What a horrible combination is hyperliteralness and low reading comprehension.

That's ok. We'll keep you anyway. [Wink]
