Title: YEAH, I FINISHED IT!!
Review: Labor of love indeed, I finally finished this book. 1,492 pages of dense text. It took me 4 months.The book is in serious need of editing: Mann repeats himself often, and not always to good effect.But that said, I kept reading it for a reason: It's good.I can honestly say that I have never read a book using the voice that Mann employed here: Pedantic yet charming, it feels like you are being told a story by a kind hearted professor who sometimes rambles and repeats himself.Of the books by Mann that I have read, this is my favorite, followed by Faustus.
