(no subject)

Once again I find myself wishing I could discuss one of Connie Willis' books in detail, but I can't because I don't know anyone who has read it. For those who don't know, she has written several books about a history program at Oxford in the year 2060 which sends historians back in time to do research. I've only read Doomsday Book and Blackout/All Clear. As I mentioned awhile back the latter is one book despite being published under two titles. Blackout ends with an annoying cliffhanger and many dangling story lines. All Clear starts up immediately where Blackout left off without the slightest recap to aid anyone who might have picked up the second book first. So we have a single novel (henceforth B/C) of about 1150 pages.
