He's my favorite Science Fiction writer. Has anyone read Ender's Game? Speaker for the Dead? Xenocide?
I'd like to discuss him and his works!

I've only read three of his works. Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and this other one with Shadow in the title. Heh. I don't really like Sci-fi but his way of telling things is quite good. I was hooked in Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead.

Great books, aren't they? I have to say that when I first picked up Ender's Game I didn't think I'd like it very much, so I didn't read it. And then I read 'How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy' by him, and he spoke about how he came up with the idea of Ender's Game, and how it became the final product, and that's when I rushed out to get it and read it.
I absolutely loved it.
Speaker for the dead was great, especially the part with the piggies, I really enjoyed trying to piece their customs together, it was cool. Xenocide took a bit for me to get into, but the ending was simply amazing, just as it was for Ender's Game and Speaker for the dead.
You probably read Ender's Shadow, which I haven't gotten to yet. T>T

I've only read part of one of those books. I was at a friend's house with nothing to do. I should have borrowed it. But the Xenocide is something I'm more familiar with. It's the name of my sister's boyfriend's XBOX online account or something. I see it every time he signs on to go shoot people. He went on a whole spiel once about how those books were some of the best ever.
He and my little brother can really get rolling when the topic comes up, since he's the read one or two of the books, too.

I've only read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow so far, but I've been meaning to get to the others as well, since I loved those too. Actually, I read Shadow before Game -- it still made sense and all, but then I had the realization of "Oh wait, I read these backwards."
