On the question of reading books in order of publication: while I am not insistent on it, I do enjoy reading the books of an author I like in order to see how s/he develops in terms of style, characters and so on. Some of course don't, and just write the same book twenty times over with slight name changes!
At the moment I am reading the novels of Nancy Mitford, having received a half-price offer on the omnibus volume from Kobo a little while ago. So far I have read the first two, Highland Fling and Christmas Pudding which were mildly amusing. I am looking forward to reading the later novels as she develops.
