In the end, it's up to you. This list also doesn't include the many other books in the same universe, it's just the main ones.

Your time is better spent searching for and reading spectacular novels as opposed to reading average novels because you find yourself invested in the characters. Donna I would read the series by publication date. Reading it in the order things happened would be disappointing I think because Card changed as an author and his later books don't have the same feel that the early ones do. Anyway, I read the series as they were published because I'm that old and it worked for me.
