Well this is my first post on these forums, so I fell that I should introduce myself.
I'm 14, and ever seince I ran into Ender's Game 2 or 3 years ago I've been trying to get my hands on as many OSC books as I can. I've enjoyed every single one that I've read. I'm trying to read them all, and heres a list of what I've read so far.

Ender's Game
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind
Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant
Seventh Son
Red Prophet
Prentice Alvin
Alvin Journeyman
Heartfire
The Crystal City
The Memory of Earth
The Call of Earth
The Ships of Earth
Earthfall
Earthborn
The Abyss
First Meetings
The Folk of the Fringe
Lost Boys
Pastwacth
Robota
Treason
The Worthing Saga/Cronicle


So theres my list. I'm wondering what to read next, I've got my eyes on Wyrms, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

You can't go wrong with enchantment, also try treasure box.

Wyrms is excellent.

I've also been enjoying the Women of Genesis series. A departure from his sci-fi, but really wonderfully written and very interesting. No surprise, he does historic fiction as well as he does science fiction and fantasy!

The Alvin series is one of my favorite sets of books of all time. What did you think of it?

You're missing an Alvin book in there somewhere, I'd definitely complete the series...And then I would have to also say Enchantment. It's a Wonderful book. And Magic Street was also excellent!

Oh, I filled in the Alvin Journeyman, forgot to add it to the list.

And I LOVED the Alvin series, just finished The Crystal City naught 2 days ago. Beautifully written.
So Enchantment, Wyrms, Magic Street, Women of Genesis, and Treasure Box. Am I missing anything?

If you like the Women of Genesis series, you might like Stone Tables. It's about Moses. I really like his historical fiction based on biblical characters. Gives me another way to look at those stories.

And of course, I'd have to give an Nth vote to Enchantment. My personal favorite.

Cool, I'll check it out as soon as I finish Leah and Rachel.

I'm a big nut for "ancient" historic fic, so I was super duper happy to discover OSC's Biblical fic novels. Good times for Libbie! Many hours of happy history!
