Vorkosigan Novels Infodump

I'm taking this opportunity to write up a semi-detailed list/guide to Lois McMaster Bujold's novels, with the intent of waving it in people's faces when I'm trying to persuade them to read the series and they ask me, "where do I start? What is that in?" Some of this was cribbed from the chronology in the back of Diplomatic Immunity; a lot of it's from memory. I leaned heavily on the English language bibliography and American bibiliography found at the Bujold Nexus for the publishing order. Use those for the full list of every hardcover, paperback, foreign language, etc. edition published. This was written with the goal of giving people new to the Bujold canon a clue where to start (and to burn off some nerves this evening; it's been a long day), not to duplicate the Nexus' excellent bibliography. The focus is on the Vorkosigan novels; other works are briefly mentioned. For more information, check out the Bujold Nexus, which to my knowledge is the largest, most comprehensive Bujold website currently available.

At the moment, I'm planning on sticking this in my memories folder and occasionally editing it to keep it up to date.

Forthcoming
No new Vorkosigan books are scheduled at this time. A third book in the Chalionverse, The Hallowed Hunt, is in progress. pewtergryphon has posted some notes about the first chapter, which Lois read at the Toronto Worldcon. Warning: the post has spoilers. Don't read her post if you don't want to be spoiled.
