Hi Lois... I have Flowers of Vashnoi sitting in my Kindle, but I just can't bring myself to start it. Once I start it, I know I'll just keep reading until the end, and then it will be over. I like knowing there is a new Vorkosigan book waiting for me, but since I can't have my cake and eat it too, I just want to have it for a while. Is this too weird?

But if you read it now, you can read it again later. It's not as if those pixels will wear off the screen from the eye friction...

"As far as medical aid goes, I'd think Miles would be a lot more comfortable going to Beta Colony. We don't actually know that he hasn't.." Interesting. I know someone with ALS, luckily the slow kind. I've wondered how profoundly it would affect him emotionally if it were not just arrested but reversed after 20 years of fighting & dealing with a slowly progressing debilitation. Conflicted, redefining himself at 65?

Are you done with the Vorkosigan universe? It's been a big part of our whole family's lives. We always anticipated a book in which Ivan's careful avoidance of obvious competence came out (probably because of a woman he was in love with) and I have to say that Vorpatril's Alliance did not disappoint. But I'd love to see one with Mark as the protagonist, and also Miles as he gets older.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hi! I've been rereading all your books this year since August because they are one of my comfort rereads and, since I just had another kid, they're a wonderful meditation on families and what it means to be a parent. And thank you for that! And leaving that aside, I was wondering - while rereading Paladin of Souls - whether Desdemona is still around somewhere and whether Foix dy Gura ever gets to meet her?
