Hi, Teresa,

Diana reads a LOT of books. As to those she likes a lot and recommends to readers, some are listed on her Methadone List under the Resources menu:

Diana:
Firstly, I love your books! You are right up there with Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot, for me. Secondly, I love your shelves. I’m a history professor and mine look just like yours. I have a pug dog. Would be interested in what novels you read!

Please write #10 as quickly as possible, I’m 80! Thank you for your wonderful, lovely, minutely researched books.

But of course, you know that you are an incredible writer. I suppose all of your attempts at acadamia pre-, and present have been remarkable. Not to sugarcoat it but I have read a lot of books. I wrote a couple of my own, and with that said I have never read a writer as good as you. That includes JRR Tolkien.
Incredible. I can’t wait for Outlander book 10, perhaps you may name it, from the ridge to the bridge, whatever that would be. I think you for the adventure.

Dear Diana,

I am back to reading book #1 for my third time, reading the entire series !!! I just finished “Go Tell the Bees I’m Gone” and realize again how rich, stimulating, true to life your writing world is !!!
I first read Outlander when it was published in 1993 and knew I had read something special but never imagined I would still be looking forward to your next “take on the 18th Century” still today.
You make men and women come alive in your stories, and I’ve often told friends, “It’s amazing how well you develop men and masculine characteristics. Jamie, Murtaugh, Roger, Ian and Lord John are REAL PEOPLE to me who just happen to live in the 1700′s. I suspect William will come round as well in book number 10 ???
Of course, Claire is the best developed female, to me, but I would expect you to be able to know about women…but your portrayal of masculinity is astonishing to me.!!!

Hi, Barbara,

So glad that you enjoyed BEES and are looking forward to Book Ten in my Outlander series of novels, and for Season 7 of the Outlander TV series.

Thanks,
Diana

Dear Diana,
I feel considerable less about my bookshelves since I’ve seen your!
Be safe!

Thanks Diana for sharing your Bookshelf – which is very private! Made me smile – funny that I always find my books when the shelfs are “growing by themselfes”. As soon as I start Clearing and cleaning and sorting….. nothing is found anymore ;-)))))) Thanks for your tremendous books! Kindest regards from Austria! Helga
