Trans-Atlantic Bibliophiles discussion

I know this is a long book, and we probably each have a long queue in front of it. But if you haven't read it before, please give it a try! This is such a great book, with lots of humor, action, and history. I was shocked to find out how much of it was true and how many characters in the book were real people. Whenever you finish it, please post your thoughts. Doesn't matter if it's next week or next year.
