I loved Sunshine and wish she'd write another book in that world.
My Dad is now reading Bujold, and has informed me that I Will Be Reading Them Soon. I think he likes them.
'Not Fade Away'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I want a book of Sunshine's recipes. I was practically drooling over the descriptions.
I think he likes them.
They do have a broad appeal: they're very character-based, but there is also smart sciencey world-building, tricky politics, and exciting battle sequences. And moral dilemmas.
And butter bugs.
I admit that I don't like the butter bugs much. And A Civil Campaign hits my embarrassment squick pretty badly; it's far from my favorite.
Really? I enjoyed it a lot. It left me smiling.
I think I'm most fond of the politicking that goes on in the Vor books. You so rarely get good adventure that pays attention to the maneuvering behind the derring do.
The thing about a Civil Campaign was that Miles screwed up in such a Miles way, and then - um spoiler fonting the rest
was forgiven the way we forgive people who screw up when we love them enough and know that the screw up was made partially out of love.

ALL of those things appeal to my Dad. If it wasn't for the fact that he's trying to cut down the time he spends online, I'd tell him to come here for book discussion.

Oh, I know. (Aaaaand I just realized that book would be torture to reread now while I'm on a gluten-free diet.)
Well, I'm now on a sugar-free, carb-free diet ... or lifestyle as the case may be. I've had to start cooking again.
