I had Quicksilver as audiobook on a mp3 player during my 2 month trip through south america in 2006. Found the history lessons kind of interesting, but never managed to finish the book despite having a lot of time on my hands. Its just too fucking long winded without a real narrative. Apparently it was more interesting to sit still in a bus driving 48 hours through Peru, then to listen to this long-winded never-ending story...
