Is this a copout of reading the WHOLE 11-VOLUME EPIC?

570489 Yes Brendan, it is. Thanks for noticing. : )

I started reading the 11 Volume Epic and made it as far as the second volume and just felt like my brain was going to leak out my ears from all the minutea of historical facts. I suppose it's written more beautifully than most history tomes... but bejesus, it just goes on and on!!! I would like to read the readers digest condensed version please.
