Every Stack Exchange site has at least one chatroom associated to it. The primary chatroom for the site usually has an interesting name which is somehow evocative of the topic of that site: for instance, the h Bar at Physics, Mos Eisley at Sci-Fi & Fantasy, The Screening Room at Movies & TV.

Though, I might also think it's genre to a large degree too. I maintain that SF&F has a bigger chance to garner users that bring a certain "commitment" to the material.
@NapoleonWilson You clearly have an opinion on the matter. Why don't you share it? It's just as valid as any other opinion; nobody's a mod here yet, at least.
Should the sitename and link be added to the chatroom description? I know it's in the lower right corner and in the little icon, but this seems standard practice and would help people seeing this thing in the general chatroom list.

@Randal'Thor That's certainly true. And having a text in digital form makes it a bit more searchable if you're looking for a certain quote, but hard copies are not easy to look through.
In my personal opinion, the best order would be the publishing order. It's the order they were written in and for the most part is pretty straight forward. The main stories, in order of publication:
Ender's Game
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind
Ender's Shadow

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I actually noted that as well, and wanted to make an observation that this is an interesting correlation (are most moderators on SE avid readers? Not implausible, you tend to have to be a good writer to get to be a mod).
