Reading this, so far it's been alright, but very, very slow going (I've only managed to read the first 60 pages in the past three days out of fucking 800), because I know absolutely fuck all about history and so every fourth line has me reading up on new shit that I didn't know about for twenty minutes or referring to maps of mid-17th century Europe because I don't know where anything is or was at that that and then taking pages of notes on all this so I don't forget it straight away. But the stuff that I have managed to get and understand first time round I have enjoyed quite a bit, and at least I'm learning some interesting history and basic geography and that.
