That's no joke. One of my major motives for conducting the GRGR at
such a slow pace was a stoned read of GR. Instead of rushing through
the book at my usual frantic pace I was slowed down enough that I
began to see the beauty of the language, the craft in the construction
and the many levels of interconnectedness - words, ideas, themes,
events etc. Doubtless one can arrive at such by other means but I
think I'll take the high road . . .
