Try reading "A Memory of Earth". It was the thirds and last Card book I read, after I read Enders Game and Enders Shadow, and disliked both, I was told that maybe I should just read a non-Ender book since I clearly just had something against the Ender universe. I saw "A Memory of Earth" at a yardsale for a dollar so I bought it without knowing anything about it besides that it was Card, and not Ender-universe.
Actually, don't try reading it. It is literally the worse book I've ever read. Confused and idiotic plot, cliched one dimensional characters, a serious sense of confused genre....
A few years later, I looked the book up on wikipedia and learned that it is his sci-fi version of The Book of Mormon.... yeah, the guy is a total hack.
Having said that, I just want to make it clear that I don't know enough about him to agree with your position on him. I know he's anti-gay, and I've read the Ender books. That's about it.
