OT: Books, Books, Books.

this is the order I suggest, I found it on the web when I found out about the Bujold series...(from some web site) The best place to start the Vorkosigan saga is, IMHO, with Young Miles. It collects the novels The Warrior's Apprentice and The Vor Game, along with the novella "The Mountains of Mourning" (from Borders of Infinity). After you read that, you'll probably want to read Cordelia's Honor (which collects Shards of Honor and Barrayar)-- this tells the tale of Miles' parents and Miles' birth. Or you might want to just keep on keeping on with Miles. His adventures continue in Cetaganda, Borders of Infinity, Brothers In Arms, Mirror Dance, Memory, Komarr, and A Civil Campaign....

I hope that helps

Thats the ONE thing I hate about book stores (even Chapters does it), you go in and look at a book, it seems interesting and then you find out its part 45 of 68 and part 1 is nowhere to be seen. ARGH. Luckily our local chapters seems to be ok at stocking titles and we have several good 2nd hand book shops.

Deathstalker, that's the most frustrating thing for me too. I don't usually go the to the book stores. Usually I'll see a book at Wal-Mart or some similar store and buy it there. But it is frustrating to see a book in a series you've never heard of before and then find out it's book 2 or 3 of a trilogy, or maybe book 5 of a series of 8. So I know what you mean.

I did that one time. Bought book 3 of the Donald Stephenson first trilogy (White Gold Wielder?), then read the second trilogy, then read the first 2 books of the original trilogy. Talk about being confused.
