I resonate with a lot of what you’re saying, and yeah, I don’t think I’ll feel too guilty about taking a break or two since I can get back on it whenever I want.
My one problem with the amount of footnotes is that they can be so dense and cumbersome that the stream of consciousness sections didn’t even feel like a stream of anything: it was like when you repeat a word so often you start losing your grip on what the word itself is. Of course they’re helpful to an extent, a considerable one on a work like this one, but if this book was so wild and innovative when it came out I want to feel some of that!
Also, thanks for the recommendation! It sounds like something I’d really enjoy
I’m not sure I understand, epub is both the industry standard and an open format, as far as I know. Why not work on using it or build it around epub from the get-go?
I have to admit I’ll have to wait for the project to start implementing epub to consider getting on board, but it’s still a great effort.
