I've read Ender's Game 6 times and Speaker for the Dead once. My buddy told me there is really no order in the series to read since it's all back story. What's the best way to read the series? I know starting w/Ender's Game has to be first.

Here's all the books plus the short story of Ender at Battle School due out this Christmas.

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


and due out this Christmas(A War of Gifts: An Ender Story)

I wish Orson Scott Card wasn't a complete lunatic.

Enders Game is one of my favorite books.

I read the books in the order they were published. I would still do so now. Beans story is different than Enders. I will get "A War of Gifts", and can't wait for "Shadows in Flight." Another book coming out is "Ender in Exile", where Ender meets Achillies offspring.

Also, I agree Card does have some really out there opinions...IMO anyway.

There's already a thread on him here And please be careful about out-and-out bashing authors.
