What great advice. I read the book more than fifty years ago and am back to it now. I am not skipping anything this time because it all has a meaning, I believe — even the description of the poor Parisians soaking up the wine spilled on a muddy street. Wow! "Let them eat cake."
I appreciate your explanation of the parts that are supposed to be funny. Since I haven't found anything funny on my own yet (Oh wait, I think I did chuckle once!) Anyway, it was very helpful to remind me in the midst of my frustration that it's supposed to make me laugh..
