I just recently finished all four of Ender's Quartet and Enders Shadow. Soon to start reading the other two books (Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets) I just wanna express my feelings on his books.
I started reading the first book; Enders Game, in 10th grade. I only found out about the book by my teacher making the whole class go out and buy the book and read it to take a test on and to discuss about. I bought the book in the following days. And starting reading it the first day I got it, then finished after the third night. I was so impressed of how OSC used human emotions and feelings and no feelings in a book, that could express so much. It was mind boggling. Soon after I slowly but surely read his other books.
Now im here writing this post at 12 past nightime on the verge of entering my final year in high school. I just want to say that his Enders books brought so much to me, when I felt like ending my life. When I felt that I was useless in this world, I could read his book and understand and think more about life than I ever could. His books made me think more about others than about myself. His books made me 2nd guess myself than thinking Im always right. So Thank you OSC for writing these books. You are such an inspiration to many, and I hope you continue to write such profounding books.

Well said Hal. Your 2 cents goes a long way here at Hatrack.
We, however spend most of our time on the other side of the river under "Discussions about OSC" at the site concerning books, films, food, american culture. That is where most of the excitement is, and welcome to Hatrack.
