A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters

A History of the World in 10½  Chapters - Julian Barnes A curate's egg for me. Each of the chapters is really a story/essay in its own right (albeit with a common thread). The first was quasi-biblical and left me cold; the second was quasi-legal and didn't move me either. But I persevered and the stories towards the end of the book were much more enjoyable.
