this time's reading method

now that i've been through the first fifth of the book, i can try to formulate several things that flashed in my mind during my reading.

first of all, let me assert my way of reading this time. i say this to emphasize that i can easily change my reading method, as easily as smiling and as fast as blinking.

this time, i'd like to read all and make notes and stop on interesting points in the book. this way, i can't promise you how long the result of my reading will be. if i'm lucky enough, i'm gonna be able to finish the book. if i'm one of the blessed literary geeks on earth, i might end up with a writing comparable--in size--to one of the eight chapters of mr. nabokov's lectures on literature.

ah, once again, i gotta emphasize that i'll be interested in small amusing things than grand ideas.
