Glad you're enjoying them! I loved the first one ... the others not as much, but still good. Enjoy!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I look more rad than Lutheranism
WHY didn't I read them? I'm in the middle of the second one now, and loving them! Silly me.
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!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
OTOH, that means I don't have to wait for any of them to be published! Whoot!
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.

I have those marked down to read thanks in part to your enthusiasm and the advice that you were given when they were pimped to you.
I'm reading Discworld out of order, sort of. I'm reading the Witch series now, finished Equal Rites, in the middle of Wyrd Sisters.

Toddson is me w/r/t Temeraire. And I had this uncomfortable feeling it was written to be a movie...which I will go see anyway.
I just finished Night Watch at least the part that the movie was based on. The plot/story of the movie was hard to follow, but the book was not. I like it; it's got a very Russian sensibility, naturally, that is fun to read in modern fantasy as opposed to Communist-era fantasy like Margarita It's an essay in the making.
