You might count yourself lucky that you never did Shakespeare etc at school; that usually has the effect of putting people off for life... at least as an adult you can come to it with an open mind.
Much of Steinbeck's other stuff -- Of Mice and Men, East of Eden, Cannery Row -- is also pretty enjoyable and interesting I think, if you can find it in print.
Card very rapidly degenerated into self-indulgent twaddle post Ender's Game (most recently, he's been calling for armed overthrow of the US govt if same-sex marriage is authorized). But some of the short stories he wrote prior to that, collected as Unaccompanied Sonata, are good if occasionally rather gruesome.
