One reason I started the blog was to stop myself from skim-reading the difficult bits too much; I wanted to be able to at least offer a sketchy synopsis of each chapter. One drawback is that I'm reading each section two or three times, just to ensure I’m getting it right, which means I’m going even more slowly than most people seem to. I know a lot of the things I pick up on will turn out to be dead ends but that’s part of the fun, isn’t it? <br /><br />Isn’t it?Tim Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681067872556519250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927407322721886817.post-84564695718007541032012-10-03T16:53:44.048+07:002012-10-03T16:53:44.048+07:00I haven't really been commenting so far becaus...I haven't really been commenting so far because it's hard to say much without giving other things away. I don't really want to spoil it for you by telling you when you've focused too much on a thread that isn't going anywhere or patronise you by congratulating you on every insight.<br /><br />I am really enjoying the analysis though and, at the risk of sounding patronising, I feel like you're picking up a lot more than I did on my first reading.Shane Richmondhttp://www.shanerichmond.netnoreply@blogger.com
