OK, I don't know why I'm sometimes so contrary, but for some reason when everyone was reading Naomi Novik's Temerarire books, I took a glance at them, and went "nah, 18th/19th century naval warfare is so not my thing" and didn't read them.

WHY didn't I read them? I'm in the middle of the second one now, and loving them! Silly me. OTOH, that means I don't have to wait for any of them to be published! Whoot!

Yeah, I did the same thing until recently myself!

Glad you're enjoying them! I loved the first one ... the others not as much, but still good. Enjoy!

Heh. That's me and the Miles Vorkosigan books. (Just finished The Vor Game, and waiting for Ethan of Athos to get sent over to my library branch.)

Oh, yay! I love those books - I started reading them when they first came out and then had to wait for the others to come out one by one. They're such fun!

Well, but there's more coming.

I just finished Bujold's "The Sharing Knife" - it's not Vorkosigan, but it's darn good. I waited for it to come out in paperback, but it was worth it.

Bujold and her Vorkosigan books are next for me. I just started with the Discworld series. I had started reading one a long time ago, but my younger self didn't get the humor, nor did I like the extra u's in everything. (I had a UK version.)

I'm a little behind the times, but boy am I enjoying catching up!

I'm behind in the Discworld. The last one I read, Vimes' kid was being born.

Follow the Buffistas' advice and start with the backstory books (Shards of Honor and Barrayar), because they really do add something to the Miles-centric books.
