I knew Waverley was "slow to start" but I'm halfway through and I'm not entirely convinced that it HAS started... it's astonishing to me that these books were such an intense cultural phenomenon. They're not unpleasant, but they're also not gripping. I certainly hope folks in the 19thC could laugh at Mr Waverley's foibles as much as I have.
