Absolutely not.  After I was introduced to Heyer (by the list - thank
you again, O List), I introduced my husband Karl to it, and he's also
addicted.  We each have our favorites, and they're frequent
comfort-re-reads.  We have a standing rule for reading in general,
that if it makes you laugh out loud you have to read it out loud to
the other one.  Heyer triggers that rule more than just about
anything.
