Shadow Puppets

Card, Orson Scott
Seventh book of the Ender series. Some pretty sharable dialog. Peter is the Hegemon, Achilles is causing problems, Bean gets married. .

Songmaster

Card, Orson Scott
The Love Song I will never hurt you. I will always help you. If you are hungry I'll give you my food. If you are frightened I am your friend. I love you now, And love does not end. I kept weeping while I read this story. I recommend it and all his books. It reminded me of Le Guin's A Wizard Of Earthsea.

Speaker For The Dead

Card, Orson Scott
Ender goes the planet Lusitania to speak the life of a very cruel father that died. A very moving book, very hard to read with streams of tears flowing.

The Gate Thief

Card, Orson Scott
Book two in the the Mithermages series. Pretty good, almost scared me we were going to lose a favorite character!

The Lost Gate

Card, Orson Scott
First book in the Mither Mages series. Danny North grew up in a compound in Virginia with his extended family who all (mostly) have magical powers. Except he doesn't seem to have any, and is looked down upon by everyone else.

Treasure Box

Card, Orson Scott
Quentin Fears meets and marries a wonderful woman who has a creepy family. Typical Card book, I liked it. Could one say Card is the Stephen King of fantasy?

QUOTE:

"Why aren't we drinkers, Quentin? Guys who drink can go to a bar at a time like this." "Is Swenson's open? We can eat a hundred scoops of ice cream and puke in the street." "Well, that's half the fun of drinking, at least."

QUOTE:

"I always think of books as being like people," said Sannazzaro. "Even the dull ones are worthy of decent respect, but you don't have to seek them out and spend time with them." "The disadvantage with people," said Quentin,"is you can't put bookmarks in them and set them aside till you want them again."

Wakers

Card, Orson Scott
The Side-Step Trilogy #1. Laz can side-step into different timelines. Interestingly, he is a clone of the original Laz.

Quote:

"Where's there a working toilet, they will come," said Ivy.

Quote:

"Yes, you're both sharp-witted and masters of using scorn as a cudgel," said Laz.
