I was thinking the same thing. I think O is asking her fans to stretch themselves. From what I understand, she has quite a brain. (Her success can't be all accident.)

I've read books like that before! And I've got one I've been trying to read for 20 years that I'm about to give up on. Just a bit too scholarly for me. "Eleanor of Aquitane and the Four Kings".
