Re: Good, Deep, Fantasy/Sci-Fi Series (for Older Readers)
While I agree that Ender's Game is a wonderful story, but not terribly deep, I thought Speaker for the Dead may be the most interesting stand alone science fiction work I have read. The nature of alien life is one of the centerpieces of speculative fiction, and I felt Card handles it beautifully.
I also want my own Speaker when I die, but somehow that concept hasn't caught on.
