What do you mean by sorting through the footnotes as they are dealt? This book confuses me! Are the footnotes made up or real? Should I be researching them? lol
I read them as they appeared in the text. So, read a line and then look at the footnote. Continue reading until you hit another one and then read that. It's a very complex book (one that I didn't finish I should mention) but if you're devoted enough, I think it could be very cool. Part of the fun is deciding what's real and what's not. I've heard others say they made it by skipping over what they didn't understand or what seemed to not fit, but that seems like skipping over a lot of text that the author thought important enough to publish. Good luck!
