Review:

DNF. After a month I’m on page 423 of 770 and I’m tappin’ out.

Great read, but so dense and scholarly.

Wagner, Wagner everywhere, but not a drop to think. Essentially the author finds Wagner and Wagner references everywhere: because he’s looking for them.

Learned a lot, and a fabulous reference for me

Too long. Did read, mostly. TLDRM.
