Jewel asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I've heard such great things about you as an author, but I just have NO idea where to start with with your books. Which one do you suggest I read first?

Lois McMaster Bujold
If you like science fiction, and are not allergic to a touch of romance, start with Shards of Honor. If you like fantasy, start with The Curse of Chalion or, for a shorter taste, the novella "Penric's Demon".

Good luck!

Ta, L.

Laura asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I love libraries and book stores. However, when I browse rows upon rows of books I often doubt if my own writing will contribute or amount to much, especially when weighed against the great investment required of my very finite time. Did you ever face similar doubts? If so, how did you reason/wrestle with them?

Len asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Your Vorkosigan series and the Harrington Saga and Douglas Adam's HHGG are three of my favorite "Space Operas" and I tend to reread each once a year. What "Space Opera" do you reread if any?
