Well the aluminum bugs still might have been too heavy to escape. Though knowing Earthbound bugs, some of whom can lift hundreds of times their own weight, the Shakespearean bugs could have been able to get away.

I'd say that Ender was just being sarcastic. When speaking of probability, it would likely be inappropriate to speak of an event in the past in present tense, just because it already happened, so the probability that it happened would be 100%, where as the probability that the event would happen exa...

Right now, I'm at about chapter 20 or so (I don't really want to bother to check) (I'm at the part where Val and Ender get to Ganges) and although I haven't finished it 100%, there are a few thing I'd like to say. First off, I like how OSC takes a (relativity) old story (chapter 15 of Ender's Game, ...

OK, I didn't really bother to read the entire post; I just skimmed through it. I did notice something about defeating the buggers, so I figured it was Ender's Game.

Now is November 30th, (at least where I live), and the movie seems to be in the same situation production-wise as it was in the beginning. There is the slimmest possibility that the movie would come out this December.

I've finished the first 9 chapters, and so far the book seems better than what others have said. The pacing seemed just fine, other than that, there isn't much else to say. I noticed that EiE seems to be the only Ender novel that doesn't have the chapters named. (except for AWoG, but that likely cou...

I'm against stem cell research involving the killing of embryos or fetuses. Bone marrow stem cells, fine.
Mostly for the same reasons that I'm against abortion - one life is worth just as much as another.
Didn't they say there were more ways of collecting stem cell than from embryos?

I liked them all as they were, but I'd have to say I like Ender's Game the best because that was what got me into the series in the first place, and I just liked it somehow. As for second favorite, I'd say that it would be either Ender's Shadow or Speaker for the Dead. Xenocide was kind of dragged a...

reading order post EiE: Ender's game Speaker for the Dead Xenocide Children of the Mind Ender's Shadow Shadow Series Ender in Exile. Ender in Exile will spoil the Shadow series for you, although I don't consider that any great loss. I'd think reading them in chronological order would be as big a mi...

I have yet to read the book and I'm likely going to get the book from Barnes and Noble's today. Also, it says on Ender in Exile's Wikipedia page that some of the Intergalactic Medicine Show stories were put in word-for-word into the book. This must mean that all along, OSC was uploading excerpts of ...

OK, since no one else has picked this up, I am going to be a continuity nazi. I picked up the book today and, as is my habit, read the book jacket before diving nose first into the book. I happened across a passage in the synopsis that boggled my mind. To put it into context, I will include the sen...

“The Ender's Saga book covers aren't related whatsoever to the books, so they won't illustrate anything from the story. At least, that's what I seem to remember. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. “ Indeed it seems as if this statement were somewhat true. The first edition US cover was a pict...

Personally, I'd say that the Speaker Series was overall better. Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead were, arguably, and in my opinion, likely the best books of the entires Ender Series. The other two Ender Books, Xenocide and Children of the Mind, were, in my opinion, of lesser quality and I didn'...

What exactly is this. It's an ad that had run on the Hatrack River saying the release date of EiE was November 1st, even though the date is actually November 11 and today is the 1st of Nov.
