I love the style of the book set in that picture. I'm sorry to hear it's both dry and depressing, because it does look like a very compelling read. I'd say keep at it. Maybe somewhere, probably around The Renaissance or The Age of Reason, you'll find a bright spot. Though I doubt it will be with Voltaire. I've been told that while he eloquently supported some very revolutionary ideas for his time, he was also crazy racist too.
