We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Seth Green is a wee man. So is David Faustino.

Other heights.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I suppose in other contexts people like Seth Green, Michael J. Fox and Danny DiVito could be considered hyperactive dwarfs.

(OT comment on the height list: My sister went to high school with Little Jimmie Dickens' daughter. She's 6 feet tall.)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I knew exactly who needed to be Bothari, and it's gone. Peter Postelwaite, maybe?

Actually, I was just thinking about Liam Neeson. He looms very well, and he's got the profile and the chops to make Bothari both scary and sympathetic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So! I just happened to start Brothers in Arms, and there is lots of relevant information to current conversation. It's the one with Earth, and they describe London as 'nearly two millennia' old, so what does that make the time-frame, o people who know how old London is now? Also, Ivan is described as in great shape (looks great in clothes), with affable, even features and wavy dark hair. So now I want him to be Jude Law.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Clearly I need to read these books. Any advice on what order in which they should be read.

I was just about to ask the same thing myself.

There are new-ish omnibus reissues that put the books chronological by story, not by order of writing. I vote those. Cordelia's Honor is about Cordelia, Miles's mother, and then his stories start with Young Miles.

Thanks, Jesse!

I have to thank erinaceous for making me read them. I was suspicious, but she did not lead me astray.

Oh, if you don't find the omnibus editions, the first Miles book is The Warrior's Apprentice.

So which omnibus thingamie should I start with?
