I just bought two books: Tao of Pooh and Te of Piglet Boxed Set, that I read in my youth and enjoyed immensely. Remains to be seen if I will still think they're good.

Unfortunately they're not available in any e-book format to my knowledge.

I just started "In Harm's Way" by Doug Stanton, the story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, since it's shark week. Got it in pbook as I couldn't find it in ebook. So far so good. I've heard excellent things about it.

Thanks for the tip Florence might give the book a try.
There seems to be a whole range of books preceding the book.
Shards of Honour and Barrayar deal with events a couple of decades before The Warrior's Apprentice, but it's not essential to read them first, and many find TWA a better introduction to the series.

Falling Free is an excellent book, but although in the same universe, is not otherwise related to TWA. Dreamweaver's Dilemma is also not particularly linked.

I'm really pleased that Baen and Ms Bujold have decided to put TWA into the Baen Free Library.

Thank you for clarifying this, I was really confused with all the preceding books.

You've read the zombie version? I've wondered - vaguely - whether it would be worth my time... Though having seen the BBC mini series at least three times, I have probably spent enough time on Lizzie and family for a long time Not to speak of reading the story.

The zombie version is a one-line joke - over & over & over. I started it - thought it was cute & inventive - and then got bored half-way through and never finished.

"God Emperor Of Dune" is definitely my favorite science fiction novel

Have fun getting there (with a bit of envy for someone reading the original Dune novels for the first time)

I was expecting that - why I haven't sampled the book yet.

Just started The Book of Adam: Autobiography of the First Human Clone. So far, it's really good.

G'night: I'm off now to go stretch out on the futon and read it!

Read #4 & #5 of the Sookie Stackhouse books, Dead to the World and Dead as a Doornail . Next is either #6 Definitely Dead or New Tricks. I've been on a real fantasy kick lately.

I didn't think too much of "and Zombies," but I did get a kick out of the first time Mr. Darcy proposed to Elizabeth--and she promptly kung-fu kicked him into the fireplace! That part did add a bit of spice to Austin's version of her cold refusal to that first offer!
