I am midway through the re-release of "Treason" and once again you have crafted yet another excellent piece of science fiction. I have been reading your books since the 80's (started with Ender's Game, of course) and I have loved all of your stories, fantasy, sci-fi as well as the biblical series. Thank you for giving me hours and hours of wonderful entertainment. I hope you don't stop until you drop!

Whereas I hope that if you feel impending dropping, you will stop and take it easy. As eager as I am to see more books from you, your health is more important.

Wait, what's that? OSC wrote a book called Treason? Oh, ok, I'll have to check that out.
Isn't there a thread out there discussing the various ways to continue having great new OSC novels to read well after any untimely demise of the author?
Anywho, long live the Card.

We need to send OSC on a near light trip into space so that he can continue to write novels for the next few centuries, or at least until they cure "aging."
Hmm, I think I have a novel idea, "Saving Orson." A group of fanatic fans kidnap OSC and try to preserve his brain for humanity. After scanning and downloading his network of synapses into their database, it is accidentally uploaded over the Internet, which then becomes self aware. Eventually OSC's Internet Brain becomes hegemon. Only one person can save humanity against the tyrant OSC hegemon and that's the flesh and blood OSC.

Badd idea, then if he wrote a story every hour we'd only get it every 14 years or some similar elongated time span. Better to just preserve OSC's head in a jar and torture him into telling stories for us.

Or..you know...we can patiently wait for each of his books to come out, while reading some of the tons of other good books out there in the meantime?

Or we could stick him in a room where time moves faster for him and not us like that one old movie... forgot the name. Then all we have to do is find a longevity potion and we're set.

I haven't read Treason yet. I'm terrified of running out of OSC books. I need to save them for the long dark midnight of the soul after he's not around. He's a generation older, so it's bound to happen. Deliberately leaving some of his books from all eras in the dugout means I can pull them out when it becomes absolutely necessary. I've read everything a couple of my other favorite authors have written, and it makes me sad. THere's no new book to come home to.

But that is the problem, there aren't any other good books out there...

Do you really think that? There have been a ton of threads on this site where people ask for good books to read. I suggest you search for those if you really think that.

No, I don't really think that way but I am a bit limited to how many authors I do really like. But I will check out the suggestions. Thanks!

Well, people are always calling me up at work and demanding that I do things right now that aren't due for quite a while. I'm just paying it forward, kinda, ya know, in the opposite way.
