A Dance to the Music of Time, by Anthony Powell

A one-liner cannot do justice to this long work of a lifetime, but it's damned fine reading and the most nuanced, character-focused epic you've ever read.

You are a ninja. I was already in awe of the rate at which you churn out book reviews, and now to find out those were just your light reading on the side while you were chewing your way through this thing puts it all on a whole new level. Great achievement. But no, I don't think I'm going to brave this. ;)

I third that. Quite an accomplishment - I did read some of these many years ago and always thought I'd like to read them all. That's a beautiful edition you've pictured,

I am in awe *bows* and very glad that you found reading this immense project rewarding. Thank your for doing this.

(I almost bought the edition you pictured above once, but they only had volumes 1, 2 and 4. Who only buys volume 3. Who does that.)
