I'm so glad I read this. I've tried to finish the book au least three times over the last 15-20 years and never made it much beyond page 200. I loved the prose sections but had a hard time getting through the Achilles & Turtoise sections. Some of them were super long and I always felt like they were clearly trying to convey some important, deep message that I'm too stupid to understand. Despite not enjoying them I actually reread some sections because I thought it must be me not getting it, although I had no problem understanding the actual explanation. I'm so happy to learn that I can skip the silly stories and dialogs without missing the value of the book. Maybe now I'll finally finish the book?!
