Meredith also doesn't think Richard deserves his bad press, Alex. It's a couple of years since I last read *Treason* (I've passed a lot of water since then), so I'll have to dip back into the book to refresh my memory. I read so much for work and for fun that, after a while, it's the general impression that lingers while the detail fades. That's something of a bonus if, like me, you enjoy reading a piece more than once.
I know what you mean about ever-growing TBR lists. But I've got an excuse for hoarding ebooks.
For three or four years recently, I was in and out of hospital for long stays (one for three months) and I was forever running out of books. The hospital library only carried books in French -- and reading those is more like a school lesson than entertainment.
Now, I keep my virtual library well stocked ... just in case. Hospital would be almost fun if I knew I wasn't going to run low on reading. Hospitals really should facilitate ebook reading for long-term patients. I know we'd be happy to make ebooks for hospitals free and I betcha many other smaller publishers would too.
Cheers. Neil
