Books, Books, Book, Books, Booooooks.......
I have been remiss, to not post about an important issue to me.
Books published by Baen.
Remiss!!! (Thanks for the kick in the behind thehibiscus.)
There is a number of my favourite authors that are published by Baen, but that's not the reason I'm so fond of them. It's the Free Books and E-Books available long before the first print. Chapter Samples for all books, Interviews, advance Schedule of publication....

I was reading one of Lois McMaster Bujold books in 'Vorkosigan Series'. For some reason I went to check something up on the publisher site, and a new world opened up to me.
However, the greatest thing was the discovery of a new author - David Weber. Here I'll recommend two of his series which have free books available on Baen. These are the first:
SF - 'Honor Harrington Series'
http://www.webscription.net/p-304-on-basilisk-station.aspx
It's a story of one amazing woman whose exceptionallity is balanced, and brought in the realm of realism, by her humanity. If you know and love Miles Vorkosigan, you'll adore Honor. And vice-versa. If, for some reason, you don't read this genre, it's time to give it another try.
Fantasy - 'War God Series'

Frankly, I read this series first. On accident mostly. I was doing something I warmly and strongly recommend you do too - browsing through available books in the Library, reading summaries and a chapter or two. For reasons I truly haven't been able to figure out, the first few paragraph of this book seduced me utterly. (I was later hesitant to even start reading HH, thinking it couldn't possible be this good - but I did, eventually. There was no chance it could be anything but equally good - you'll understand if you ever read both series and think about them for a few minutes.)
Bahzell Bahnakson is truly an unlikely hero; but just like courage is not the absence of fear, so do true heroes never look for heroic deeds.
Browse through the Free Library. There are many good stories waiting for you there.
If you haven't, give a chance to these series, they are well worth it.
As for the Bujold's 'Vorkosigan Saga', you did read that, right? *raises an eyebrow*
