The colombine biography. The author interviews the first responders and kids that were there when it all happened and there's a lot of things the news tells you that isn't true and also there's things that they don't tell you that will blow your mind. Read it.

yeah, according to wikipedia this is the order:

Xenocide (1991)
Children of the Mind
Ender's Shadow (1999)
Shadow of the Hegemon (2001)
Shadow Puppets (2002)
First Meetings (2002) (perhaps not a part of the series, so to speak)
Shadow of the Giant (2005)
A War of Gifts: An Ender Story (2007)
Ender in Exile (2008)
Shadows in Flight (2012)
Shadows Alive (forthcoming, originally planned as part of "Shadows in Flight")
Earth Unaware (forthcoming, prequel planned for July 17th, 2012)

I have only read up to Ender's Shadow though

Try just reading Enders Game, I found that it was able to work very well as a standalone book, the rest of the series is more if you're interested in learning more.
