I finished reading
Barrayar this evening, and was in tears by the end. All these re-readings, and I don't think I appreciated until now how much Cordelia sacrificed her own principles for Miles's survival.
I have decided -- and
silly_cleo agrees with me, and so will
elyssadc in a moment -- that Big Finish needs to adapt
Shards of Honor and probably
Barrayar. The whole Vorkosigan series, really, but it's best to start at the beginning. I'm going to send them a letter, as soon as I can find a crayon large and purple enough. It will read:
Dear Big Finish,
You should adapt the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold as full-cast radio plays because they're awesome. Also because, for a sci-fi action series, they're incredibly dialogue-based. Lisa Bowerman can play Cordelia; there's no one better. If you can't afford Edward James Olmos for Aral, I guess David Warner could do it, but seriously, think about EJO. If you cast Miles Richardson as Vordarian, I'd have to come to the UK and kiss Nick Briggs on the face.

That's entirely credible and not scary at all, right? RIGHT?
