Project Gutenberg also has Gibbon's 6 volume "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" if you have a spare lifetime to read it!

http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/g#a375

The first volume was right around 800 pages.

I did talk to a gentleman who read the whole thing--he was a prisoner of war at the time, and that was the only book they had in the area they were holding him.

WOW. Are you being sarcastic? Anyway, thanks for the link icedragon. I like Roman History.

Gibbons version of history is a bit slanted and though he was a brilliant writer his history is now looked at a bit skeptically. I know DJ will ask for a source but I don't have it as it was a few years ago I did the research. But it is natural as few areas of scholarship of the 1700's matches the scholarship today.

No?

I know that itsn't that many, but that is with sleep and stuff. Other people are faster readers.

I have sat down and read 5 books in a day before. I have read 1000s of books in my life.

The average person can't read that fast. SO how do you do it?

 

[sentipente]

One could probably read a technical book quicker than a novel because of the story line.
