It's a thousand pages, give or take a few

I think my latest book has defeated me. It's Tyerman's 900 page epic on the Crusades, thirty years in the writing, and there are just too many names and too much detail. I'm no longer even registering new facts as I read; all the information is either spilling out the sides of my brain or mixing in and creating a sort of crusadey-colored mush in my memory.

*sigh* I hope this is not a foreboding of what school will be like.

Yeah, I'm trying to decide if I actually want to own it. It's a lot of real estate, but it looks very well done, so I might actually finish it off. I'll probably start poking around for something in a few months. (I believe the book was released in November/December so it's brand new.)
