I'll give this a shot. If you have any follow up posts on it, please tag me. It's been a while sincerely I've read a book of this length but have previously finished Les Miserables and Count of Monte Cristo.
I figure we should at least have material for the quotes thread for the next six months. Monte Cristo worked really well for me in digital form last year. I could take my lightweight Kindle on the metro, read in a browser during lunch hour, and get through another chapter in bed using my phone. The automatic bookmarking (and notes and highlights) works very well across devices for Amazon purchases. My paperback copy was just too bulky to lug around, and it turned out to be an unlabeled abridgment anyway. Hope you enjoy it!
I finished it today. I enjoyed it. The quote that most stuck with me was "Kings are the slaves of history."
