I had the same experience with M&D -- I pushed thru to the end, but
didn't really get much from about the last 200 pp. However my friend,
who was reading pretty much in synch with me for the first 450 or so
pp., stopped for a month before reading the rest (which he's doing now)
and reported to me over the phone last night that that had really helped
him _get_ the last half of the book. I may try that when I someday
reread it.
