Happy New Year! I'm still reading my usual smorgasbord of books. On the kindle I have EC's Shadows and Strongholds, and still working through Mary Stewart's Arthurian foursome, having reached The Wicked Day (and dreading the end--kind of like SKP's Sunne in Splendour, you know what's coming.)
If a three-book set is a trilogy, what do you call a four-book set? A quadrology? And why is it, exactly, that three books have become so fixed in the popular mind as appropriate for a long story?

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Just wanted to join in and say Happy New Year! to everyone. For once I'm not reading anything; for the past few days my partner and I have been glued to the Downton Abbey box set I got for Christmas. We hadn't watched it before (first 2 seasons were not shown in Scotland) and now he's as addicted as I am. Has anyone read any really good novels set in that time period?

If you like Downton Abbey, you will enjoy The Passing Bells. Can't remember who wrote it.
