Orson Scott Card

Well, I never saw a thread for this topic so I am going to start one now for the subject of my passion in life.

I'm sure that amongst a group of sci fi-loving individuals there will be a good handful of Card readers. Especially considering the sheer amount of work he has out there.

So, lets get this ball rolling. Favorite of his books? [Either the one you love best or one from each category (if you are that well read of his stuff): sci fi, horror/suspense and fantasy.] Favorite character and why? Favorite quote (if you have one)?

I'll start us off.
Fave book-- sci fi no brainer--Ender's Game. Was a total surprise to me how much I fell in love with this book recommended to me by a middle school librarian. But I still call it my favorite book of all time to this day.
horror/suspense This one is really hard. There are two that are up there but I will go with Homebody. In case anyone has not read it, I will not go into details but it told a very unusual and compelling story.
fantasy Enchantment--A perfect blend of fantasy, time travel, comedy and romance. Probably my second favorite book of all time.

Favorite character: Hands down, Jane. I will go into more detail if I get responses but I just think she is a really fascinating and enigmatic character. By virtue of the fact that she exists even though she doesn't really exist. That she evokes vast amounts of love and compassion and tangible relationships despite the fact that her essence, itself, is not tangible.

Quote: I will have to look that one up. There are lots.

Aaaaaaaaaand--GO!
