I've been reading a lot of OSC books and I don't know which one I should get next. Any suggestions?

I've already read:
Ender/Bean series (including first meetings)
Alvin Maker series
Memory of Earth series
Treason
Empire
Pastwatch
(which brings the total up to 24, and lets me laugh at my friends when I say my favorite author has written way more books than their favorite author)

I'm in the middle of Lost Boys. Not bad so far.

Enchantment! (again)

Oh, Lost Boys ... it's very compelling ... I'm so glad I read it, once, years ago.

I read the title, and all I could think of was Two-Brews in The Color of Light.

ok thanks

I have a few book store giftcards so ill definently be buying Maps in a Mirror, Lost Boys, Wothing Saga, and Enchantment. I was at my library earlier today and the only OSC book that I hadn't read yet was Homebody, so I picked it up. Hopefully it'll last untill I place an order.

OSC books never last. They hold you for about 2 to 3 days, then your looking for the next one.

Homebody is great! You'll enjoy it. Very different. I'd recommend Enchantment and Magic Street.

Too true; I just finished Homebody, it was another great OSC book. I can't wait to read the ones that you suggested.

*Sulks off to till I can place an order at a bookstore website*

I just finished Hart's Hope. It is very different from the rest of the books I've read by OSC (though not so different from some of the short stories). It is very interesting anyway, if you're looking for variety.

I'm with some of the other people. For the ultimate OSC expierence, you have to get Maps in a Mirror.
