Kate Heartfield (who will be hosting the Dune event on the 17th) just posted a short piece on her blog about the same subject - with the added mention of the *shudder* Jackson/del Toro "Hobbit" sequel (rumoured to be about the events between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings - here is not the place to geek out about how weird that sounds.)
It does my little heart good to see, though, that she also loved Robin McKinley's Damar books. (Oh, and lor' bless Wikipedia: I didn't know Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson were married! That explains so much about my childhood.)
