Four days reading a single, 80-page chapter! And yet what a chapter it was! Should've been double the length, no less.

Something like 19 pages on Handel. By Pollux, Durant didn't even give that many to Locke or to Newton!!

I am greatly enjoying this one so far. Clever and so very even-flowing as always, the only sentence I disliked was when he described somebody (Swift?) as "Hiberniating" in Ireland, a stupid pun on Hibernia and hibernating. I love Will Durant truly, but I will not be the one to let him off on such impoverished wit.
