A readthrough?

[extrapenguin]

So, there shall be another Bujold Fest on AO3 in the early autumn (prompting'll start in early August, I think), and in preparation, I suggest a readthrough! (Or themed discussion posts? Perhaps both?)

Now, looking back, the last readthrough (in 2009) didn't reach The Vor Game, so I guess we could either start with that, or start from Shards of Honor, and then continue in chronological order. How do people feel about it?

EDIT: One book at a time, or each book in many segments? (I'd prefer one book per post, and feel like that would be easiest to organize.)

Ooh, I've just read through the whole series, so I'm ready for this now :-). Some fic ideas brewing too...

Someone at tor.com is doing a read through right now with weekly posts. I think they're on Mondays or Tuesdays. They've done Falling Free and are in the middle of Shards of Honor right now.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't do a read through of our own. I'd totally be up for it. I just thought that it might be something that folks would be interested in as a supplement or as a source for discussion ideas.

I'd like to start with Shards of Honor myself, since it's my favorite book, but of course it's up to the community. :D And yes, one book per post seems about right.

Heh, I'm happy with a Shards start, too. Just suggesting the TVG start since that's where the previous readthrough fizzled.

And another thing: how long should I give to read each book? I'm abroad sometime in early-mid June (oh, if only I could remember the dates, sigh); do you think we could fit in SoH before that?
