help with loads of witty like minded people on them.

While I can't speak to the source of the quote, I would like to chime in
and 
wholeheartedly recommend the Lymond Chronicles (of which, The Disorderly

Knights is one) by Dame Dorothy Dunnett.  They are, without exception,
the 
finest works I have ever read (And to say I am a voracious reader is to
say 
that the sun is bright. Books are my beloved refuge).
