Certainly true, Greg, and mostly I can enjoy it at that level. Sometimes, however, while I can recognize the context of the times, the result is still something I don't particularly want to read. Or, having read, didn't particularly enjoy.

That was the case with this book. Yes, I understand its place in time and genre, but I find my tolerance for "manly men doing manly things in a manly way", and being jerks while they do it, is decreasing with every year I get older. Which is NOT to say that I don't enjoy books from the 20's and 30's. Just that the protagonists have to have something going for them beyond what we see here.
