Is it worth attempting to finish?

Prob not if you don't like it.
I tended to skip through a lot of the shit that made no sense on my first read and i enjoyed it.

It wasn't worth starting to begin with..

It's not that I don't enjoy it. I think it's really interesting, it's more like I can't figure out what order to read the goddamn footnotes in.

>> No.1880415

>>1880412
Well I read the book mostly from front to page, the normal way, unless the editor made specific reference to a certain footnote, or it seemed uber important.
But that's just me

Hey, it's the fucking labyrinth chapter so I feel slightly justified.

Supposedly you can read it however you want.
I guess the same goes for all books, weirdly enough.
