Im a troubled man. I want to start reread of DoD. I really enjoyed all rereads, TtH raised to No. 1...but DoD, I cant force myself to begin. I really liked/ loved the book. But it is so emotionally brutal...that each time I remember particular scenes, something in me refuses to begin reading. Hobbling...Tool...whole Barghast storyline...oh, they are so good. So good that it repels me to suffer it thru it again... DAMN. SE, you are repelling me!
So I need some clearly reasonable arguments that will force me, calm me, make magic...anything!

Well, I can't help you there, since I started working I only had time to do half a re-read (TTH) in the last 8 months.
If I was to forward an idea, read 1 chapter each evening before sleeping.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

how long does it take you to do a full re read? Maybe read the other works by SE and ICE? If you have done this then start again from the very beginning and just take your time going through them, they are that good
Apt is the only one who reads this. Apt is nice.

You can just ship chapters which you cannot tolerate.

I had the same reaction. And you know what? It's not as bad the second time round. The hobbling -- it's actually over in a flash in terms of page count. I remember reeling the first time I read it, and thinking it was going on for ages. But actually, it';s only 2 or 3 pages. Hardly anything. So just do it, I'd say. You'll enjoy the prose more the second time round.
It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.

It's all worth it for those last 60 pages or so. Even when you know what's coming, the build-up is SO GOOD.

I enjoyed it more second time around, I guess some inoculation to brutality had occurred. I did hit a spot right in the middle that made me lay it down for a couple weeks, then it was back on. Alternatively, shots of whiskey...
HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

You could wait for TCG to come out, and then read it all in a row as one book.

Ulrik, do it for Tassadar. He faced his challenges head on. Can you do no less?
If there were no smart people others wouldn't feel inadequate.
Right?

Do it for Hetan. The cruelties that were done upon her must be witnessed, again and again, just as long as it takes for the human race to understand that such things are a big no-no (to say the least).
