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!

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'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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Damn you, Polter, that made *me* cringe just reading it.
