    It's extremely fun if you have the patience for it. You'll especially enjoy it if you have experience with and/or enjoy reading academic texts, because the format of the book (and the frame story) plays around with footnotes, endnotes, citations, and references quite a lot. Go into it like you're reading a Serious Academic Work and do all the things you'd usually do with that (margin notes, cross-referencing different mentions of similar ideas, etc.) and it's especially rewarding. Even without all that stuff, though, it's a banger of a horror-romance.

      Skip to the end first and read maybe half of the sections before tossing it aside to read the conclusions sections of exactly 1/3 of its own citations?
