![]() To begin my journey, I chose VIRGINS, a novella penned by Gabaldon years after she made Jamie Fraser a successful protagonist in the Outlander series. Looking at the size of the work at hand, over 13 412 pages (yes, I counted!), I will have my work cut out for me. I have done this (complete series reading in a consecutive fashion) with other collections and find it quite enjoyable. Additionally, as a captive fan of the series currently airing on television, I want to catch some of the crumbs I may have missed and, reading the entire series back-to-back-to-back etc, I will latch onto some of the smaller characters as they reappear from one book to the next. I want the full Jamie Fraser/Claire Randall experience, peppered with Lord John Grey and all the nuances found therein. Although I’ve read most of the Diana Gabaldon material previously, slowly and methodically, I thought it best to re-read both the Outlander and Lord John series, in chronological rather than publication order. I have taken the (un)enviable task of embarking on a long and winding literary journey over the next few months. ![]()
