Martin. I do enjoy your comments as always.
Ha ha to you too Martin!!! I always enjoy your posts and thoughts. I still think Scott never got the recognition due to him for his superb writing. The style he uses often puts people off, just a bit. Featuring his book(s) is what makes the History Book Club so unique......we read classy books!!!
I enjoy his writing, but I can see where others might have problems. I do wish he had put an occasional period into some of his longer sentences. And two or three pages without a paragraph break is at times a bit wearing ;)
