63. Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campaign -- I love this book! It was the first Vorkosiverse book I read, and, without knowing anything about this bevy of characters prancing around, or the setting, or the history, or anything, it hooked me completely on the cast and the universe and the series. ( I adored it then, and I adore it now (Spoilery, but it's a love story, so...) )
