What does /litrature/ think of Will Durant's Story of Civilization?
I've read all 11 volumes over the course of several years but I never see them discussed here.

Additionally are there any recommendations for history books that pick up where Durant left off? He got to Napoleon then died. I want to know what the fuck happened in the 1800s.
