Hehe...nope. And...I still have the book. It belonged to my dad, a big, thick hardcover one. When he died, I got it from his library with a few others that I had read.

I don’t think my dad ever read it, though...:) I suspect he liked having it on the shelf. He was more inclined to military books and murder mystery stuff than the classics!

Your Dad & I have similar interests, then. Most of the ‘classics’ that I read were read when I was a boy. By the time I was an adult, I ceased worrying about what book was ‘good’, and read for information, work, or pleasure. For the latter...mysteries and military books - often biographies - are my preference.
