The only difficulty is keeping up with the plot that is so complex that you're a few hundred pages in and realise that you're reading a story within a story within a story within a story within a story within a, which can get disorienting as you can imagine, but it's such a joy to go through that it never becomes a slog

Possibly.

I do know that I care a lot about what people know of me, probably too much. I certainly never tried to convince myself that I don't care.
How did you come to that conclusion?
