Speaker for the Dead....Restarted scienece fiction reading

Previously I read novels and science fictions a lot. But for the recent past I was more interested on non-fictions and autobiographies.

My friend Chamindu always reads science fictions and my habit of reading non-fictions and autobiographies was a topic to talk for him. Last week I thought to read a science fiction and see whether my mind is ready to accept science fictions again.

I borrowed "Speaker for the Dead" from Chamindu last week. Spend part of last week and whole weekend to finish it. I must say that it's addictive. It was so addictive that for the whole weekend I had the book in my hand.

"Speaker for the Dead" is a good collection of fictions blended together. The author, Orson Scott Card is building the rule set for the future universe and unfold the story nicely. I have already borrowed "Ender's Game"(previous one in the sequel) from Chamindu.
