I've read 26 Card books. And I have Folk of the Fringe and Saints lying around, waiting to be read.

Heh...I haven't seen Coupling, quidscribis, but when I saw the thread title I got a mental image of a roomful of bound, gagged, disheveled- and disgruntled-looking Cards, and Amanecer dancing around in joy that she'd finally collected them all.

I haven't read Saints, Lovelock, and Lost Boys.
I have started Lost Boys several times, but each time I have to stop because it's just too painful. I identify waaaaay too much with the protagonist.

I've read all of his novels...many multiple times. I have not read all of his short stories. I have read maps in the mirror and a few other collections of short stories. I refuse to read the poetry...I just do not get into that.

Huh. Thanks for the link. Nice illustrations! I am such a visual person, I wish all novels were beautifully illustrated. I can totally understand the allure of Manga. (Though I haven't actually read any.)

Hmm... I don't know, I think I'm not a very visual person myself... Sometimes I try to imagine what something written would look like, but most of the time I'm content with only the written think. Now if I'd have MUSIC to go with the text, that would be great!
By the way, from all the people I know I think I'm the one with the best visual perception of details. Why then I'm more moved by sounds?! And smells? (foood! ) Why do I enjoy music much more than any painting, landscape, etc.? You'd think that a body that has some good characteristics would also have the neural connections to best use them, but nooo....

LOL!!!
quote: I haven't read his book of poetry, but I say that that doesn't count. 'Cause if I have to read every last scrap he wrote.... Now that's just silly.
And are we counting "The Abyss"?
I wasn't counting poetry- is poetry technically fiction? I thought it wasn't. I've never really gotten into poetry.
And I would count the Abyss- I thought his book was far better than the movie. Posts: 1947 | Registered: Aug 2002

I thought I had read everything by OSC, and then I found an audio tape at the library with Mr. Card himself reading some stories I had never seen in print: a story about an elephant boy, a story about a fat man who trades his body in for a skinny one, and a story called Feed the Baby of Love. Tell me where I can find these stories in print, and then I'll be in your club.
C'mon that poem about Alvin and the No-Good Plow was pretty good, and I usually don't like poetry.

Corwin, that is interesting. I actually have a great deal of difficulty envisioning detail, and even in perceiving it. And yet I thrive on visual stimulation. I consider myself an artist (though I am weak when it comes to detail.)
Of course, I also adore music. But then, who doesn't? Posts: 7050 | Registered: Feb 2004
