Melody Murray's Books

Wow. The classics get to be classics for a reason. The first couple hundred pages were very confusing and slow, but then the book (and the whole state of humanity) opened up and engulfed me. I wallowed in it, and am still unable to shake it off. Once is not enough, though, to get any of the finer points. I think I'll have to read other translations at some point, for comparison's sake. A magnificent book, with just a little too much war for me. I wanted more of the peace and the ruminations and less of the brutal battle scenes which are far too topical again.
