can I really call it trash

if I learned a bit of history from it? have read Jennifer Blake's Three Graces series recently, it's set in the court of Henry VII, so I knew a little bit about Richard III when his body was found this week. very little, but who remembers that stuff from school? anyhoo, have since read The Lacuna again learning a bit of history and the difference between Thomas Wolfe and Tom Wolfe. Authors should be like actors and not aloud to have the same names.
