It took me a while to get into Ender's Game, but by the end I was hooked. I enjoyed Speaker for the Dead and found it a more relaxing read than Ender's Game, but the ending, while good, left the plot in flux and simply couldn't compete with EG's. The series before this I've gotten the furthest in is Robert Silverberg's Majipoor series. I read Majipoor Chronicles which is a collection of short stories, then Lord Valentine's Castle and Valentine Pontifex. I tried an earlier book called Sorcerers of Majipoor but it was very dull compared to the others and I stopped reading.
My favorite science fiction authors are probably Silverberg, Olaf Stapledon and Robert Charles Wilson. I am looking for a good female science fiction author since I haven't read many sci fi books by woman authors yet. If somebody has some recommendations, something that's not too political like The Left Hand of Darkness but has an interesting premise and a writing style that isn't too stuffy, I'd greatly appreciate it.
