Diana Gabaldon (sp?)

I didn't see a thread about this author, has anyone read her Outlander series? It's my absolute favorite. Almost everyone I've recommended it to loves it.

I have, it's VERY good, and addicting

I absolutely love Gabaldon. I went after her "Outlander" series like a crack addict on the hunt for a fix. Her comedic timing is impeccable and she's a born storyteller.

Have you read the "Lord John" book, yet? I wasn't sure how I'd like it since he wasn't one of my favorite characters, but it's surprisingly interesting. From what I understand, she's going to make an entire Lord John series.

Have you checked out her website? There's some pretty interesting stuff, there. And the "Ladies of Lallybroch" are pretty funny, too.

Thanks to whoever recommended them!

I think that was me. And I had the same reaction to Jamie. The funny thing to me was that I dated a guy in high school that she could have modeled the character after. And his name was James, too.

Oh dear. . . you lucky girl.

I should have added that he reminded of Jamie, except for the whole personal responsibility and self discipline part. An ex is always an ex for a reason.

Diggitydot- I read Lord John and was extremely disappointed, maybe I just wanted more plot about the original characters and wasn't ready to let them go.

I agree. It wasn't nearly as entertaining, (for me), as the Outlander series. Not that it was a bad book, per se. I'm just all that into the whole 18th century gay bordello genre. Interesting, though. But no...definitely not one of my favorites.

I agree 100% with you. I don't see how she will be able to build a series on that character. I love your avitar, BTW.

I was reading somewhere, (most likely Gabaldon's website), that there are some plans in the works for a series about Master Raymond. I'm not sure how far you are in the series so I don't want to spoil anything for you. He's an apothecary she meets.

Heh. I love that avatar, too. And oh, soooooo appropriate for me, most days!
