I'm a librarian's assistant, been so since October. It's okay, though it is essentially a customer service job.
We use Polaris, dunno.
I have had this book on my shelf "want to read" for awhile now. I am wondering what is the best way to tackle this book. Do I take it a page at a time? or do I read a chapter then go back and read all the footnotes or do I read the main book then go back and read the rest?
Has anybody read this and of so what was your strategy? Is it worth the time?

I bought this book a while ago, and had a pretty easy time getting through it just page by page. Within the first two chapters you figure out how the color combinations of the notes relate to each other, and it gets pretty easy to figure when events between the main characters happen. My friends and people in the S forums (they exist) have tackled it different ways. By the second or third chapter, you should be able to figure out what reading pattern works for you.

Listen, kid.
On /lit/ we don't condone of the writings of "authors" (it seems ridiculous to call him one) that freshmen in college read (the liberal and female variety, that is).
Here is what you need if you want to be a true enlightened patrician literature afficionado:
David Foster Wallace - Infinite Jest
Thomas Pynchon - Gravity's Rainbow
Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita
Dostoyevski - The Brothers Karamazov
Max Stirner - The Ego and its Own
These are /lit/-approved books that make or break you as an intellectual powerhouse

The Last Wish is good, but they quickly go downhill from there.
The games actually have far better writing than most of the books, at least in English.

Personal recommendations for getting into theatre? I listened to The death of a salesman and I think that's the first time I've been moved. After that I read the Seagull and I felt so sorry for Irina

I've read over 50 books and as a seasoned veteran all I have to say is... I quit.
Nothing will ever surpass The Brothers Karamazov.
This is the pinnacle of art in its purest form.
