A Listmania! list by Amree (London UK)

1. Cordelia's Honor (Miles Vorkosigan Adventures) by Lois McMaster Bujold

The list author says:
	"The first book of the Vorkosigan saga, probably the most re-readable series of books ever. They're all well written, with 3-D characters for whom you develop a real affection, and some great humour."

4. Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold

The list author says:
	"Plot creation on the principle: what's the worst thing I could do to him...? ... but don't worry, it all comes out OK in the end. Next is Komarr (they really are worth reading in sequence)."

6. Diplomatic Immunity by Lois McMaster Bujold

The list author says:
	"Diplomatic Immunity is (so far) the last of the Vorkosigan saga (sob). Don't miss the wonderful short story Winterfair Gifts in Irresistible Forces (though the rest of the collection IS resistible)."

7. The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold

The list author says:
	"I loved the Vorkosigan saga so much that it took me a moment to get into the Chalion books. But now, after many re-readings, I wonder if they are her finest work. Fabulous characters, brilliant plots."

8. Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold

The list author says:
	"Finally, a book in which a woman 'of a certain age' becomes a glorious and resounding hero, building a life on her terms. Enjoying the Sharing Knife series, but they're gentler and less brilliant."
