How is everyone feeling about part two?Do you find it easier than part one?
Still working away at it and though it is not an easy read find something I have to tell my husband about every night so definitely will continue. Almost through episode 8 so still have a ways to go.
I had a game plan with the annotations before starting. But once I started I haven't been as focused on the annotations compared to my initial plan. Personally it has worked better for me.
To be fair, I haven't started it again this summer, but I have read it before and didn't find it hard to read at all. What are you finding difficult?
hey Elizabeth are you still reading? just finished episode 10 so no way I will meet schedule for Part Two but do intend to keep going.

Ah, Elizabeth don't pay attention when people say it's difficult or it's too hard about anything. Go for it! Life is for living and books are for reading! Enjoy it. x
