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?)

Some people were arguing that s/he got her sexuality rewired on Beta as well, or that s/he fancied whichever sex s/he wasn't at the time, or that Olivia's gay and it was a political marriage....

Bad Jellica! Last week Murphy got shut into the utility room and did the other on my shoes, sadly non-washable.

Even given that the Betans could rewire someone's sexuality, which I don't suppose is any more improbable than the existence of FTL drives, I'm not convinced that Donna would have passed the barrage of counselling and psychological tests that you probably have to go through beforehand.

Bad Murphy. Wasn't there a patch of utility room floor available?

I suspect he may have wanted to hide it under the shoe.
