Re-read; just as compelling as the first time, with as many snort-aloud and a few put-down-book-amidst-uprorious-laughter moments as the first time. Perhaps because I'm an historian myself and part of an very eccentric, very nerdy organisation, I am utterly charmed by much here. Taylor has got INSTINCTS for HISTORY! I very rarely find myself highlighting quotes that I want to chase people down and read aloud, but: this book!
