During several of the hours when I should've been asleep, pre-Fencon,
I got to thinking about http://www.cozylibrary.com/ . It's a
wonderful resource, with lists of upcoming books, reviews, author
interviews & articles, etc.
Then I wondered who out of the VorKosigan circle would read which
kinds of mysteries. Piotr might enjoy the Barrayaran version of Dick
Francis [or maybe even the original; there were those Terran
stallions, after all]. I can easily see Cordelia reading
country-house mysteries, like Sayers, Christie, or Wentworth, to get
a feel for the aristocratic mindset; they might've gotten passed on
to the Koudelka girls. Roic with his police procedural and Pym with
Jeeves & Wooster could keep companionate watch at night. Duv would
"relax" with historical mysteries; rigorously critiquing the accuracy
would invigorate him. Ekaterin might allow herself to enjoy some
gardening mysteries. A younger Ivan would plan to pretend to read
whatever would impress the girls, but wind up reading & enjoying it on the sly.
Speaking of sly, what would By enjoy? Alys? Simon?
