I've been struggling through one of the so-called all-time greats of Christian
literature—that is, “The City of God” by St Augustine of Hippo. Listening to it
as an audiobook, I can just about keep going. If I had to read it in print, I
wouldn't have a chance. It's very long and very pedantic. It starts out as
total tedium, brightens up for a few chapters in the middle, and then the
relapses back into total boredom.
