Vote for the next book club book

I've read a variety of reviews and synopsis's and I know this is right up my ally. Just the title alone is intriguing. I'll have to post a pic of my 'library' sometime- way back in the pre-kid day we used to collect antique books, which I actually read. I have a hard time with the modern vernacular when reading because I tend toward books from the Neo and Post-Neo-Classical time period. From what I gather, this is a critical look at the Age of Enlightenment, right? If I were a PLR person, I'd have to say this would be an area of interest, as I've always had a strange fascination with this epoch. I'll have to relay my Peter the Great story sometime.
