Extremely Complex to Digest in One Pass

Would you listen to The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Volume 3 again? Why?
I would have to, or read it then listen again. Gibbon's history is extremely compressed and, thinly covered, as to characters and events, plus he uses indirect references which require keeping the thread that actually refers to what he is talking about. Nevertheless, it is stimulating to read further.
