I'm in the Russian campaign, now--the beginning of the end.

Reading about the German states during this era.

After leaving Italy during this era, I'm enjoying reading of von Metternich, Austria, and diplomatic double-crosses of which I was unaware.

I've made it to the Peninsula Campaign and learned things about Wellington I didn't know.

Just getting to Lord Byron after a long delay.

Reading about Coleridge's final days was quite a downer.

I didn't know that English med students in the early 19th century needed to go to Scotland because Cambridge and Oxford had no medical school.

The section on social-economic justice and reform in Britain is extremely interesting. I've learned a lot here.

I thought the section on French literature would be more interesting, but the Durants focus mostly on the literary figures vs. Nappy.

If you can tell a lot about people from their enemies, I'm more impressed with Nappy now than ever.
