I read this book when I was a kid and frequently back then, I was not concerned with reading books from beginning to end. I’d start in the beginning, skip to the middle if it got boring, skip to the end if I wanted to kill a cliffhanger, then go back and read everything in between, or eventually restart from the beginning. So this is how I read GEB. I think I never would have gotten through it from start-to-finish.

You can move around to get an idea, pick out what interests, take a dive, then really do a contextual exploration. Found this after many years of sort of doing something similar without knowing it was a thing. It honestly felt like cheating sometimes for some reason? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Read_a_Book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Read_a_Book
