My husband spent 25 years promoting Pepys diary as something to read, and I finally did it, it taking three months to do so. There was so much from this we got to talk over, and everyday as well. I listened to the audiobook, read along at times, and referred to the notes in the complete Latham and Matthews edition. Pepys blew my mind, and one thing I like about him is how every good play he sees is the best play ever he saw in all his life. That is how I feel about good books, and it is completely how I feel about this project, which when all is done is the best thing that ever I read in my life. Or, it will be so until I finish the next great book.
