Yes - I did before I read the book, too
However, as I realise that sounds unbearably smug and more than a bit like showing off, the only reason I know them is purely down to the books that were in the house I grew up in - I lived an aunt and my nanna until I was about 11, and then visited regularly for several years after, and they were both book-a-holics and had no objections to me reading anything I could get my hands on, and explaining what I didn't know.
Somehow I never got hold of books like the Jackie Collins ones my aunt had... but that was at least partly to how she had arranged her books!
