definitely readable, i think. not too hard if you can keep your concentration! (which is hard for me when i get depressed). don't shy away from the dictionary, either. it can get a little complicated, but just read through it and get enjoyment from the writing and worry about piecing the story together later. at least, that's what i did. that is why it is still fun to read later, because i can pick up on things i didn't quite get before.
i was reading "gravity's rainbow" a while ago, and like a billion people came up to me and where like "whoa, you're reading that, that's so hard!"
i had no idea it had a reputation and was really enjoying it, but then after all those comments i got scared and stopped reading the book. so stupid. it made me mad. i hope i will go back to it later.
the non-fiction is good! i recommend "a supposedly fun thing"
