Thanks a lot, Lissi. From you say I think you're
absolutely right about me and what I'll like, and I
think I'll stay away from the Monk series as pleasure
reading (unless I validate one of those books some
day--smile). I don't like misunderstandings in movies
or literature, and to have him be thought of as he was
before...also, I prefer reading about the upper
classes. I didn't care for the historical
novel/romances by an author whose name I can't think
of now but began with "C" because they dealt with the
working and lower classes (plus they had a lot of
dialect)--although she's a very popular writer.
