I downloaded the epub version of this from libgen, and I'm wondering if anyone here can confirm that it's accurate? Been wanting to read this for a while, but am paranoid that it will have errors or missing sections I won't be aware of. Can't afford to spent 1t9 dollars on it.

Also, if you did read it, what were your thoughts?

Just trying to get an answer before my lunch break so I can start reading it. Didn't mean to make your precious neurons fire.

It's incredible but no casual read, you have to set aside some time I'd say to really investigate what it's trying to get at

You would be wasting your time by reading this on an ereader without the ability to quickly take notes, just saying. This isn't something that should breezed through like any other novel.

Yeah have fun slowly selecting every passage that you want and oh so slowly typing out notes with that extremely shitty interface only to never refer back to them because of the inconvenient way how you have to look at one note at a time and can't just flip to the page you want easily

epubs rarely are missing entire sections. Usually it's just small typos. I had one today where the word "and" was turned into "arid." It means they ran the text through word-recognition software and it didn't get everything right.

Usually there's an actual human-edited edition somewhere online. Make sure to check torrent sites if you have issues, because they sometimes have a curated collection of an author's entire body of work.

Couldn't that be said for every novel worth reading?
