I believe in my heart that there is a right way to read this title, and a wrong way. On this discussion thread list the ways that you go about reading this glorious piece of fiction. For me, allowing myself to take in every word, as to not waste any descriptions or advancements, is the optimal way.

While sitting.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

On a sunny beach where friendly natives periodically bring me alcoholic beverages and fish tacos.

Are there any others? I read it with a Kafka-esque feel of inescapability, while the rereads get treated with a giddy sense of melancholic dwelling on pending doom. Oh, and a hot mug of black coffee.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

I "read" it in in audiobook form and consult with synopsis frequently to make sure I didn't miss anything incredibly important, which I almost always do.

No shame in looking up chapter summaries, as far as this series goes.

I read it when I'm cooking and sit at the kitchen and drink coffee. Oh thanks, you make me want to cook and read again .. ;) I've read it three times already,but every time notice some new information I haven't mentioned before. It's like the case when I wrote my research paperon bullying justification and when was defending it had now idea what I'm talking about.

Just glance over the paragraphs and passages, he who needs every bit of information handed to him is no great puzzler. Or she to her, I don't care.
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'

On toilet breaks over the course of a month for the first 2/3.

Then speed read through the final third.
Tatts early in SH game: Hmm, so if I'm liberal I should have voted Nein to make sure I'm president? I'm not that selfish

Tatts later in SAME game: I'm going to be a corrupt official. I have turned from my liberal ways, and now will vote against the pesky liberals. Viva la Fascism.
When Venge's turn comes, he will get a yes from Mess, Dolmen, Nevyn and Venge but a no from the 3 fascists and me. **** with my Government, and i'll **** with yours
