Seems like a very interesting book and would love to listen to it. It's just that the narrator is absolutely bad, the way he puts inflections on words is so annoying. What a shame.

Great, great, great. I love Durant's interest in cultures and people, and the fact that he compiled all this data for us in turn to simply flip a few (thousand) pages and bask in historical and cultural knowledge.
