I can see why his hsitorical stuff slows down - he takes on the tones of some of his sources, including the cademic one. And he feels the need to flesh out background a lot more. He also explores causes and consequences in greater detail: there is a lot less assumed and a lot more explained. And just doesn't it make sense that these are the books *I* like, since I have spent large chunks of my life reading matters historical. I find the other books a bit Turtledove-lite.
My particular addictions are things with salt. Chips. Pickles. Deep fried with salt is best of all. (I have salad for lunch and can't see any way to make it anything other than healthy.)
