I love Speaker for the Dead. It's been a long time since I've read it, so I should probably pick it up again. I liked Xenocide a lot more, but didn't really get too into Children of the Mind (the two "sequels" to CotM).

Still, I haven't read any OSC that beats Ender's Game, IMHO.

i havent read xenocide yet, but i loved Speaker for the DEad. it is my nre favorite book. i really like the fact that ender believes its the choices behind the actions that matter =,not the actions themselves. i believe that 100%. i also thought it was interesting that thoses two kids who fell in love (im blankign on their names) ended up being brother and sister.
i like Speaker for the Dead better than Enders Game, but i really didnt like Enders Shadow. The more i learned about Bean the less i liked him.

I havn't read Speaker for the dead yet, but I just refreshed my mind by rereading Enders Game for the second time, and finished that today. so whenever I get the $ to pay off the overdue book library fines, I'll probally read Speaker for the Dead. I wanted to refresh my mind from last year and read Enders Game first though!
