- lordgrenville 7y agoI got through the entire set on audiobook. It's a fantastic history of Western civilisation. We might accent some things slightly differently nowadays, but overall it's held up really well.
- jolmg 7y agoI read a bit of the first one years ago, but didn't get very far since I was busy with other stuff. I'm still busy with other stuff. I haven't been able to prioritize such career-unrelated leisure reading in years. Maybe in one or two years I'll give it another go.
