I think it has taken years, but today I finally finished reading "The Travels and Amazing Adventures of Baron Munchausen". What has taken so long is that I've been reading it one short chapter at a time, out loud, to William. The text is full of odd archaic words so it gets one's tongue tangled and prevents multiple chapters from being read.
