I just don't have the patience any more to read this sort of stuff. Even if I do force myself to plow through it, it just goes in one ear and out the other. Some authors are constantly trying to impress people with how smart they are. If you cannot convey a complex ideas in an easily comprehendable manner, you are wasting your time.
Aye, I'm not sure why Acton was such a torturous author but there were certainly very readable authors in his time. I've started on Henry Adams' History of the United States. He's a little earlier but is looking to be a pleasant read.
