This has nothing to do with gardening, but this seems as good a place as any to say it.
I am currently addicted to Richard III, and it's all your fault.
I suppose first I should thank you for Tam Lin. I've read it more than once - how many times, I couldn't quite say; I've lost count. Last summer, after I reread it yet again, I went through it for a second time, this time with a pen and paper, and made a list of all the books mentioned in it that I hadn't read and ought to. It became my summer reading list.
I still haven't read it all. But I've been introduced to a number of books that made my favorites list through it.
One of those books was The Daughter of Time. I read it, appreciated it, and that was that. And then, recently, I managed to force it upon my Comptuters teacher. He read it and came back to me with evidence against it - which inspired me to start serious research. I'm fascinated by the subject. I've written a paper on it, and I'm still deeply enmeshed in Richard III research - I'm considering writing my senior thesis on the subject.
In any case, I doubt I would have originally gotten into the subject if it hadn't been for Tam Lin and you.
A thank you letter
