Wow, you are so right about all the emotions PiF conveys; I had to remind myself that these weren't real people. "Throw the book against the wall" indeed, but I coasted into Ringed Castle because you CAN"T just stop at that point. I like the idea of reading the Russia stuff for symbolism and not getting bogged down in the Russian army plot.
It's amazing though that books can create such a real, visceral experience for the reader. That's where Dunnett excels in her storytelling. I do want to find out what happens to Lymond in the end, so I will keep reading forward.

Also, I'm glad you liked E. Wein's books so much!
