vorkosiganSo, there was some interest in the group of doing a "getting to know you" in the form of a Vorkosiverse reread.
If people are still interested in this, it might be nice to take it in single chunks (novels/novellas/short stories each being one chunk - not omnibus collections being one chunk) and in either publication or timeline order. In that case, the first book we'd read would either be Falling Free or Shards of Honor.
Which do people prefer as the first book?
When would people prefer to start? I was considering late May, perhaps; that's a long time from now, but it also gives plenty of time for new community members to show up and introduce themselves once the site enters open beta, plus it gives plenty of time for people's school years (if they have them) to be wrapping up. (Or does that just conflict with finals week?)
What are your thoughts? Certainly if the people who'd be re-reading can't do a certain time or don't want to do a certain book, we won't do it that way!

Date: 2009-04-26 09:13 pm (UTC)I'm interested in this reread, I've actually already been rereading the ones I still have and putting the ones I don't on my library list. (Also, searching my house madly for The Warrior's Apprentice, which my son borrowed and swears he handed back to me, but which neither of us can find. It's driving me crazy. This house is just not that big.)
