I have the Everyman's Library edition as well (along with a bunch of other Everyman's Library books. I love them). It has been slow going. I read 5 books in between volumes one and two and have now read about 4 books since I finished volume two.
I enjoy them, but I'm not in a hurry to make it to the finish. I figure I've got time.

I need to get into Byzantium. I'm hoping to do a senior thesis on Byzantine diplomacy. *NM*
