Thank you! My ego is now totally out of control, and I will have to fight it back into it's cage with a chair and a whip! ;-) *attempts to be intelligent, droll and charming, simultaneously*

Curiously enough, I bought Mary Renault's "Alexander" trilogy just before Christmas, since so many people (including Storm Constantine) had praised it. Unfortunately, what with one thing and another, I didn't get very far, but obviously I need to get stuck in again!

I'll put it on my To Do list (along with finishing a couple of other Wraeththu stories) for when spreadsheets stop eating my life!
