I attend Bethel College in Kansas and have been taking notes and thinking about OSC, and I have found that I have many questions to ask him on many different levels. Questions that I've always dreamed about asking him face to face. I figure that if I posted a new topic, where anyone could ask a question, whether it be philosophical, historical, etc., we could learn more about each other throughout our questions. I sincerely hope that this is a fruitful topic.

I would ask what inspired him to write these books, about these topics, and how did he come up with these amazing charactors? Posts: 12 | Registered: Jan 2005

I asked him my question already at the signing last year...I said something like:
"Aside from your wonderful family, which is the piece of work that you feel the most attached to, or proud of?" Basically, what's your favorite book that you've written?
He said something like: "You already mentioned that my family is the most important and it's the same in my books...Lost Boys is the book that I'm most attached to because it is about my family. It was the hardest book for me to write (having to imagine the death of your own child) and I'll probably never try something like that again."
Those are extreme paraphrases. That's the gist though and I thought it was pretty cool.

If you have two patients and both are going to die at the same time and you can only save one. Which one will it be?

Wow. I thought that book was autobiographical. I think it's my favourite. It made me cry last time I read it and I rarely do that... Perhaps I'd ask him a nice safe question about opera or music in general rather than a political one.

I asked him once about walking around our Bootcamp classroom in bare feet-- only because Geoff said that as kids, they were never allowed to walk around barefoot.
OSC said he did it because his sandals made his feet sweat.

I would probably ask him if he had his vision of the physical laws in the Enderverse as a factor of his faith, of if he gained faith by what he found creating that universe.

Honestly, I would ask he what he thinks about constantly getting bashed on his forums (much more so on Ornery). I suspect he would make some comment about how he doesn't let himself take it personally, but it would be really hard not to, which is why I think he doesn't go there much.
