Commitment
You gotta commit, but it's worth it. Get through the first ~100 pages, where he's setting it all in motion, and you'll be rewarded with the greatest read of all time. It didn't get its reputation for nothing.
Wolf Hall, Bring up The Bodies & The Mirror and the Light - Hillary Mantel
Do not start these if you have anything important that needs your attention in the next month or so.
A Place of Greater Safety - Hillary Mantel
Her debut, probably not as good technically as the wolf hall trilogy, but I enjoyed it even more. Maybe more appealing because the characters are younger, living more intensely than Cromwell? Have re-read multiple times. Genuinely detracted from my studies, could not pull myself away from it.
