Interesting! I'll have to check it out - I'm in a complete Regency phase this week. Even picked up Mansfield Park and reread it since it was on my shelf... haven't read it since college.

I feel badly about RJ - seems he was sick for a long time and kept working on the final book throughout, both typing and recording himself telling the story. People shouldn't die before their stories are complete, especially when they're tens of thousands of pages in.
