Books with too many titles

So, if I’ve been thinking about Dunnett – why not read her? Because if I re-read the Lymond books I will lose at least a week – probably two, as I shall drag out my reading of Pawn in Frankincense for days and then go and track down both Dunnett companions, any related books and the Lonely Planet guide to Byzantium – and be of no use to anyone in the process. However, I’d never read the Dolly series, and I found the first one waiting patiently for me in a second-hand bookshop while looking for King Hereafter.
