About sixty thousand pages of history, I'd estimate. Not nearly enough, anyway. But the problem is the opportunity cost of reading the Baroque Cycle. In that number of pages I could get through, for example, the whole surviving part of Livy's history of Rome, or a handful of modern histories. I'll get to it eventually, I suppose.
