Mr. Cornwell,
I was educated as a professional historian, and later as an attorney, I left the law and the academic life many years ago. I still read history for at least several hours per day. When one of your books comes out, I place a bookmark in the book I am reading, and set it aside. I immediately take up your book, and usually read it in a couple of marathon sessions, while neglecting any pending responsibilities. I have almost every volume of your books in hardcover, and have read most of them at least three times. Thank you for the many years of reading pleasure.
I rarely comment on the anything, but I have just completed Waterloo. Bravo!
