i have an obsession with this man and his books. anyone else?

if you've never heard of him pick up ender's game. it's the book that got me started.

What does he write about?

Orson Scott Card is an awesome author, I thoroughly enjoy the books he writes. I think I've read about 80% of everything he has writen.

i think i'm on about 50%. i'm working my way through the alvin journeyman series.

what does he write? i think he's considered sci-fi for the most part, but it's not so...so, isaac asimov. it's a little more toned down. more about human emotions in a sci-fi plot...or something.

Orson Scott Card is a sci-fi/fantasy author he kinda bridges the gap that barely seperates the two areas.

yeah..that's what i was gonna say.

hehe .. okay - thankies

Hehe, Ive been reading that type of book since I was about 10 yrs old.... If you want any suggestions on some good authors let me know.

hey, where was I when you posted ??
I thought this was my post at the beginning.
Orson Scott Card ! I believe I read ALL his books except the stuff that has not come out in paperback yet.
I read all his sci fi, the fantasy, the short fiction, and now 'Sarah' and..the other one which is the story of Moses : 'Stone Tables'.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. On the same level as ISAAC ASIMOV, definitely.

Card is great I think if you like his stuff you will like Peirs Anthony. I got started with Enders Game as well.

Card wrote a great alternate reality series called 'Alvin Maker'; the premise being that magic is real and the Native Americans never got pushed any farther west than the Missisipi. Check it out.

I love "Enders Game".

I actually got started with some of his Fantasy...I believe it was SONGMASTER.

I always wanted more from then on.

I love even his re-writes of the old Testament. Nothing to do with Sci Fi of course, just novels really. I am waiting impatiently for Rachel & Leah to come out in paperback !

Anne McAfferys "Dragon Riders of Pern" is good also. She has a way of making it real, not spaced out.

I have not read those books since middle school Paul! Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman wrote the DragonLance books and they are good too.
