Why did I not discover Diana Gabaldon until now?
Edited on Wed Aug-26-09 08:44 AM by sazemisery
A friend suggested I read Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series since I love George R.R. Martin's Songs of Fire and Ice. I burned through the 627 pages of Outlander and have now read books 2 & 3 (Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager). Will I finish books 4 thru 6 before the 7th comes out in September? Probably.

If you enjoy historical/sci-fi/romance all rolled up in a kilt, then try this series on for size. I find myself thinking is Scottish Brogue. LOL.


edited for speling.

1. I discovered Claire and Jamie about 15 years ago.........
My favorite part was when Claire was asked to impart some wisdom from the future to Jamie's sister and Claire tells her to "Plant potatoes!".

3. Yes! I laughed out loud at that!
And in Voyager when she gave her last penicillin shot to Ian after he was forced to copulate with Gellis. Claire could not send him home to Jenny with a case of STD's now could she?

And I could go on and on about the Jamie-isms. LOL
