SRS:

The Cadfael books are good chiefly because she doesn't use modern social and detective thinking--Cadfael is very much a monk of the time, although he's a bit of a rebel too, since he came to the monastery later in life. But I think Ms. Peters does a good job of explaining him. And the videos of the PBS movies are wonderful--Derek Jacoby is absolutely Cadfael! Elizabeth Peters is just fun--I think I have all of hers, including all the Amanda Peabody books.

The final Dorothy Dunnett book in the Lymond Chronicles (Checkmate, if I remember right) is the only one I can remember ever throwing across the room because I was angry at the author--I was certain she had killed off her main protagonist, and it made so much sense it made me furious. It took me at least a week to pick the thing up and finish it. EXTREMELY good writer.

Glad the evaluation went well. Hey, a new title reuires a bigger paycheck (you can tell 'em I said so).
