I went cold turkey a number of years ago, so I guess the time frame is probably just screwed up. I'm almost afraid to try it again though. I'd hate to fall off the wagon and add another 14 readings.

Seriously, it's a remarkable book by John Barth, and I highly recommend it to everybody on the planet. But beware. It's no mean book. The edition I read is about 1100 pages, and it's not large print. It is, however, my favourite novel. A historical fiction to end historical fiction.
