Having finished Chapter 5, the first chapter in Part 2, I'm going to stop for now. Will say "Here I Halted Unfinished So Far" rather than "changed my mind," as a more positive spin. Have reached as far as the early/mid 1630s in the reign of Charles 1, & the arguments over religion and of parliament vs absolutism. I started reading as a trial & stopgap, & am just not that committed & desirous of finishing at present.

Not sure if I'll finish right now but very interesting. In Chap 1, learned the whole Guy Fawkes story. Who knew it involved religious conflict? and a plot to blow up king and parliament as well so as to permit the return to Catholicism by those who resented being forced to accept a new religion. This book was readily available in the library after I read about it in a review of the author's new one.
