Sort of.  I definitely would not have read any Sayers without
the LMB connection.  I'm not very fond of her non-Lord Peter
things, though.  I also tried Heyer because of LMB, but didn't
like what I read very much.  I think it was _The Toll-Gate_, or
something like that.  I confess that I only gave it the one go,
and I probably should try something else.

Austen and Bronte...yuck! yuck! a thousand times yuck!  I've
read several of their things, and I found all of them just
yucky.  Boring, too.

Hmmm...the *two* modern sequels??  What am I missing?  I've read
_Thrones, Dominations_, but I had no clue there was another one
out there!

Cheers,
