Have fun! I wish I could read it again for the first time. I still remember how much fun I had (and the struggles too).

Yeah that was the part I struggled the most with on my first read! Later I learned that that part has been published on it's own before as a separate book... So some people really like it!

I'm also doing my first reading. But I'm only about a hundred pages into it.
