I have been browsing the LMBujold list.

Have discovered that some readers think

• Gregor doesn't care all that about Miles (or that it's all tell-not-show in the books) because he doesn't haul him out of his woe-I-have-been-booted-from-the-military funks in WA and Memory


• Ges and Serg weren't, well, I suppose 'lovers' is kind of inappropriate, but anyway


• Donna/Dono isn't bi (and was all along)


• Elli is more interesting a character and more worthy of Miles than Ekaterin is

I don't think there's anyone going with e) All of the above, but you never know.


(My responses in order: take a closer look at the plot of those two books, no-brainer, Countess Vormuir springs to my mind, and ok, did you get the Beijing editions?)

Apparently, according to commodorified they banned discussion of politics on list, so deprived of their regular fodder of discussing the merits of the Second Amendment and the Evils of Socialised Healthcare they had to cast around for new topics of discussion, and I suppose by the law of averages "the novels of Lois McMaster Bujold" would have to come up sooner or later.

*snurk* I know the NHS is the bureaucratic equivalent of a black hole, but shurly 'evil' is a bit strong?

Anyway, I was picking out the occasional on-topic discussion by Googling the names of the characters within the list archive, pausing every five seconds to go 'Why on earth can't they make an off-topic list?'
