so, is that tome worth muddling through?
i'm enjoying it capitaly, but then i'm me - i'm also reading a much shortening version that's only 700 some odd pages long, instead of the 3000+ uncut version (maybe i'll do that later) - jayb had a lot of great quotes from it in an old thread, i've found many more i've dug - i think its amazing how readable it is, given that it was written in the 18th century, not so known for its readable prose...
