[Gildarts]

I'm reading a 700 page history book on Early Modern Europe called Pursuit of Glory.

It wasn't what I expected, since it's a lot of like, social and technological and cultural history.  I was expecting your token military-political tome.

It's interesting but quite dry at the same time, which is fine by me.

I like history and think when it is written in the right way, or perspective, it can be quite exciting. But sometimes any perspective can cause an influence of bias, (so maybe that's why it feels dry?).

I've always wanted to read "In search of lost time" which is 3K pages; (one of the longest novels ever written and I think it was also first written in French) which is what I instantly thought when I read this reply- also, the title reminds me of a certain iron maiden song.
