I've been thinking about rereading the whole series, but I was hoping to do that when there was a NEW BOOK.
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, according to Amazon, Young Miles has Warrior's Apprentice, The Vor Game and "Mountains of Mourning."
Miles, Mystery and Mayhem has Cetaganda, Ethan of Athos, and "Labyrinth."
Miles Errant = Borders of Infinity (the novella, not the collection), Brothers in Arms, and Mirror Dance
Miles, Mutants and Microbes has Falling Free and Diplomatic Immunity. And "Labyrinth" again.
The rest all seem to be available in their original titles.

That's just weird. Falling Free, while set in the same universe, is much earlier. Also, the Quaddies aren't mutants; they're genetically engineered.

Yeah, that one had me scratching my head. I guess it lumps all the Quaddie stories together, in case anyone wanted that.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Yeah, but on the other hand I kind of like "Falling Free".

Young Miles and Miles Errant are what you want. Find a copy of Borders of Infinity on Half.com. I am trying to remember if there's any reason to reread Cetaganda, and nothing comes to mind.
I am waiting for the Ivan novel, damnit. Because Yuletide, marvey as it is, is not scratching my jones.
Oh, hey, speaking of fic... Ginger? Do you know if there's any documented instance of CJ Cherryh taking a position on fanfiction? Because I started riffing on a Supernatural crossover with Cherryh's Nighthorses novels with a pal, and it's awesome, but someone said that CJC hates fic, and we'd hate to have to abandon it...

I know the Willis was a sideline to the Vorkosigan conversation, but I wanted to chime in as loving To Say Nothing of the Dog, and then loving Jerome's Three Men in a Boat, which is where Willis got the title and inspiration. Kind of depends on a love for the early-20th-century foppish-young-men-at-Oxbridge genre, which I have in spades. Er, if it's a genre.

I tried reading "To Say Nothing...", and didn't get it. And then I read Domesday Book (LOVED), and then REread To Say Nothing, and liked it much better. I think I need to go back and re-read Belwether, though.

"To Say Nothing of the Dog" is much improved by having read Dorothy Sayers, not to mention "Three Men in a Boat."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Hmm. I loved "To Say Nothing", can't stand Sayers, and have never read "Three Men." Which is not to say you're wrong.
I read Domesday so long ago I barely remember it. Must dig that one out again.
