I have both books, and fully intend on reading both. I'm a few chapters into Peace -- picked it up first because it's 1) the actual poll winner, 2) going to be a bit harder for me to read, since I'm a dud at history, 3) lighter, in trade paper (:\ )

I will crack this one on my breaks from unpacking into my new house!

I started Chapter 1 last night. I think I am going to enjoy this book. I just hope I get to read it on a steady basis...recently, I would start a book and things would conspire against me and I would have to put it down for a week or so before I could really get back to it.

Mark me down as a maybe. I'm going to concentrate on "A Peace to End All Peace", but if I have time, and the discussion makes it seem worthwhile, I may play catch up on "Breaking the Spell" at a later date.
