Well. It took me allllll semester, literally, to read this. It is not meant for entertainment, it is just a collection of primary and secondary sources that surround hundreds of years of world history. Honestly, I find this stuff to be fascinating, but a one time read through is enough for me. I don't want to critically analyze any more of these documents (seriously, never again).
