When you see a Bujold quote, post another Bujold quote in your LJ, and see how long we can keep it going.


Oohh, so *that*'s what integrity looked like.

One of my favourite scenes and quotes!

Yeah, I really love what she does with Mark. Remember in ACC, the trip to the mountains, when Mark says "there was no food there"? I love how Lois gives him his own metaphors. Since noticing that one [one to which we hobbitish types are particularly attuned ;)], I've noticed her doing it with other characters.

It took me a long time to get to the point where I could slow down through that part of that book enough to appreciate it.

But that's a great quote.

Having difficulty slowing down is a common affliction associated with Bujold. I tried to come up with something I could remember off the top of my head, without being slurped into rereading book[s].

You seem to have started a meme that's quite popular.

Thanks!

Well, rushing through that book in particular had more to do with wanting to make sure Miles wasn't Really Most Sincerely Dead than anything else. It's also the only book I've ever peeked ahead at the back page of.

If she'd killed him and left him dead, I'd never have read another thing she wrote, probably.

As for popularity, they're Bujold quotes. 'Nuf said.
