I tried to read this book several times since high school (around 2012), but I was often bored and never got to the end. This year, I read about 1/3 of it on Kindle, but often the poems got mixed. so I didn't know which poem I was actually reading. Then I found a copy at my college's library... it was pretty much falling apart and the edition has heavy and huge, so I couldn't carry it anytime, and I only got to half of the book before trying another solution. A few weeks later, I found and bought an edition at a bookstore and it took me another six long months to read it fully because after a few pages I fell sleep.
