I believe it's Speaker for the Dead.

But every other book in the series isn't as good as Ender's Game, imo.

Yea I know it's the one that follows the series, but allot of peaople has said i should read Enders Shadow before Speakers Of The Dead
And I hope they are good, cause i really liked Enders Game

Ender's Shadow was really good. It's just Ender's Game with the viewpoint of Bean which imo was just as interesting as Ender's Game. I never read Speak of the Dead however.

I've read most of everything that Card's written, nothing lived up to Ender's Game for me. :(

I have read all 3 books, and enders games is by far the best, the other 2, are ok but not nearly as intriguing.
imo

The ones in the trilogy are Enders game, followed by Speaker for the Dead, followed by Xenocide.

I read all three, and thorougly enjoyed all of them. I never tried the other spinoffs, because my friends told me they weren't worth the read.

I liked his Alvin Maker series as well. Annnnnnd... he's starting a new series. He just came out with a book called: 'The Lost Gate' . It sounds interesting. Will read within the next few days.

As for which to read first.... honestly I would read them in order... Ender's Game > Speaker for the Dead > Xenocide > Children of the Mind. ( I think that's in order... going on memory) Then I would read the parallel series.. Ender's Shadow, Shadow Puppets, etc.
