The plot thickens. I think.

Forgot to update progress zealously but good book nonetheless. Having the usual hang-ups that one gets reading a book series out of order, but enjoying myself. You gotta love a baxter mafia.

So far I feel that I have swallowed more than I can chew, but I'll stick with it because I'm keen to read some historical mysteries. Well-written but dense.

Pretty unremarkable right now, all things considered, but going at a solid pace and easy to pick up.

I can only respect a Jedi whose first response to being baited into a fight, is then to take the bait and throw hands without the Force. Master Halcyon is a feral idiot and also the best.

Flatteringly large font and easy to read thus far. Hopefully that trend will continue whilst I'm taking a break from Dumas.

Again, I'm making a guess, but I'm getting close to the end and this book is so twisty I'm getting anxiety. The good kind, not the bad kind. Needless to say, this book has invested me.

Once again I've had to estimate the page numbers. Still, I'm getting wrapped up in this book. I only intended to read one chapter and YET, I have probably read about three at this rate. I'll be both sad and happy to have finished it.

I can only estimate the word count because of the use of numerals for the introductions and such. However, this book remains very entertaining. I'd be repeating myself if I were to update more regularly my thoughts.

I had no idea this book would be so funny but I'm living for it.

Don't be fooled - I read through the prefaces and introductions and that's about it. I'm on about page 6-7 at this point.

Though I find at least some of these things helpful, I did sigh in relief when I finally got out of the Teutonics chapter. It is so, so long.

I regret making this book the first one of the year but I do sometimes learn new things from it.

Enjoying that this has the energy of a speedrun but in the 1940s, and very interested to hear etymology / quirks of words of English from the Romance languages and how to pronounce certain letters... at least according to the author, which I'm going to trust for now.
