I've just read in the Intro by Figes, and it was very promising. I want to know if anyone else on /lit/ has read this, and if its worth reading

Nah, we don't actually read books here, we only talk about memes. Go to /fit/ for a conversation on your level.
Finished it about a month ago and it was truly fascinating. Get ready to read a lot of footnotes if you don't know French. The epilogue is pretty unnecessary.
It's an amazing piece of literature and well worth reading. I didn't appreciate it very much until half a year after finishing it, and it's only grown on me even more since. It's far more enjoyable than his other writings.

Oh that sucks. I use "à la lettre" instead of "literally" because of that book.
The book is long enough and we're supposed to read some guy's intro?

Epilogue. Singular. Didn't even read the sparknotes much less the book.
