literally nothing like going into it without notes, and just flipping the book around to make sense of even tiny fragments of sentences.

Tends to get overlooked as a serious work. His greatest achievement desu.

I haven't read it, but from what I can tell, it's half meme and half serious work. It's completely worthy of analysis, even if he did write it as a massive fuck-you. If nothing else, it's simply impressive as a work of art

From random flipping around you find it's far more coherent than the memes lead you to believe. It's just that everyone gives up after bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntro

Critics keep people away by making it sound too serious and neglecting to mention how fun it is. I finally bit the bullet around age 30 by reading a few books about it and then taking a straight shot through it. I had a great time. FW would probably be my desert island book, in that a person can spend a minute or two on a page or hours and hours.
