Oh, Bujold is wonderful. If you're reading the SF, the Vorkosigan books, they've got to be read in order, because one book builds so wonderfully on the previous one. The exception is the Komarr/A Civil Campaign series, because she wrote Komarr specifically to be a point of entry into the series. Start with Shards of Honor/Barrayar, also known as Cordelia's Honor - really the two books are part of one whole story line.
Bujold is the only author that I reflexively buy in paper (for collection), eformat, and audio.
If you're into fantasy, i think Bujold's best books are Curse of Chalion and its sequel, Paladin of Souls. Each book can be read on its own though.
The Sharing Knife books are really one book in four volumes. Book 2 is the weakest, i think, but they're all well worth reading.
(have I gushed enough? if not, i can go on for hours about the wonderfulness that is Lois Bujold.)
