Interesting perspectives. Maybe it goes back to some of the other threads in the past few weeks about how one visualizes when they read. I certainly agree that he had a firm grasp on language, and I enjoyed his writing style. However, there were multiple long sections where I felt like I glossed over many pages because the lofty exposition just didn't hold my attention. Whenever I found my mind wandering, I forced myself to go back and read those passages again. Often looking at images or reading a bit of historical background was the key to unlocking that passage for me and to capture my interest again. Definitely images greatly enhanced my appreciation of this book. I want to take a trip to Austria now!
