followed you're 'use of weapons' link to goodreads. Did you read the first review there, Joel's I think. Now that is some review!

I just finishedMiles Errant which was excellent.

I'm not sure if I am going to move on to Miles in Love or something else in my fairly large list of books to read.

I will at least try #2! Maybe in print instead of electronic, since I seem to focus better that way.

#2 The Player of Games is generally considered to be one of his best. It's also quite a bit shorter and easier to read.

I agree...good way to learn about his world and not have the story line be a distraction....
