I was introduced to Miles Vorkosigan through the book, "Borders of Infinity" by Lois Mcmaster Bujold. I was instantly fascinated by him, a dwarfish overcompensating megalomaniac. Thereafter, I read all the books about him that was ever published about that I could get my hands on to wit:
The Warrior's Apprentice
The Vor Game
Cetaganda
Borders of Infinity
Brothers in Arms
Mirror Dance
Memory
Komarr
A Civil Campaign
Diplomatic Immunity.
I'm presently waiting for the next installment in the series.

Great series! I love how she takes on a lot of different genres with him as the focal point. I also enjoyed the few stories "pre-Miles" starring his parents.
Lois McMaster Bujold is one of my favorite authors. I recommend her to other people all the time.
She's been one of my favorite authors for a good while, now.
The Curse of Chalion (and its sequel, Paladin of Souls) are my favorite fantasy books ever. Amazing - highly recommended.
Read every Miles novel except Mirroer Dance (cause I can't find it).
Absolutely hilarious reads...
Imagine a cross of Napolean & Macguyver on constant doses of Red Bull and you have Miles..
Wow, coincidence. I'd never heard of any of the names or books mentioned in this thread, except one.
I just got "Cordelia's Honor" in a box of books left with me by a friend shipped to Iraq. While sifting through the Forgotten Realms novels, I saw Cordelia's Honor, read the first two or three pages and wasn't immediately turned off, and resolved to read it. It's on my nightstand right now.
