How do you read it? I hear it has these footnote things that ogle the mind. Do you just read it like a regular book: pg.1 pg.2 etc? Or do you jump around to these footnote things a bunch

It's not hard just because it's long and has footnotes. It's very easy. You do have to read every footnote, though, or you won't understand the book.

you flip to the corresponding footnote as they pop up. it's still very linear, just use two bookmarks

we don't necessarily know they met for real. since when Don and Hal are digging up you-know-who's head, that may happening in a sort of vision after Don becomes "unstuck in time". I don't know, though. they could have met at the rehab place.

Which edition has footnotes instead of endnotes

>>16224274
The footnotes in IJ are in the endnotes. Not joking. Haven't heard of an edition with the endnotes AS footnotes in the main text.

>jump around to these footnote things a bunch
The constant back-and-forth to the endnotes in the back of the book is meant to mimic watching a tennis match.
