The Vital Question is the only book I've read cover to cover. I got through about 15% my first attempt and decided I had forgotten too much chemistry to truly appreciate it. A few years later I undertook an intensive chemistry self-study for reasons unrelated to Lane. After that, I was ready to tackle TVQ again; this attempt went a lot better. Truly loved it and got me thinking and reading related peer-reviewed papers. I've been thinking about which of his other books to try next but I've gotten to a point where I actually prefer to do problem sets in early/intermediate college-level organic chemistry! Will check back in with Lane in a year or two.
