As long as we are off the subject, any opinions of Glen Cook?  In 
particular, the Black Company books?  I recently read one of them, and 
was stuck by how depraved some of the leading characters are.  Is this 
typical?

ObBujold:  Would Herself ever write a book with an anti-hero, or evil 
protagonist?  If one were getting bored, I can see an author trying to 
do so as a change of pace, but I'm not sure as a fan that I would like 
that particular change of direction.  On the other hand, Lois is 
committed to writing another Vorkosigan novel.  As I recall, one of 
Mark's personalities is not very nice.  Just throwing spitballs here.
