Speaker for the Dead remains one of my favorite sci fi novels of all time.

I have heard the Alvin Maker series is worth checking out.

You're going to get a lot flack from people on this sub about him. As a gay man, I don't get it. I don't care one whit about his personal beliefs. For me, all that matters is the text.

Speaker for the dead is by far his best book in my opinion. It is a whole different type of book than ender's game so I get why people who loved the first one didnt enjoy this one as much.

Ender's game to me is just a fun fast paced story with a good final twist

I read a couple of his more "mormon" books and the most interesting part to me was seeing how It looked like propaganda

So you're happy giving money and compliments to a person who thinks that you shouldn't exist, nor have equal rights?

An author's personal convictions rarely affect my reading decisions. It would be different if there were anti-gay sentiment in the Ender books, but there isn't. I know because I have read them all.

You do what you think is right, and I'll do what works for me.
