Machado de Assist started out brilliantly then leveled off to periods of greatness with a mix of more standard fare. I am reading the Kindle version which makes referencing the footnotes, checking for the many literary and historical references used and checking definitions fun, without significantly interrupting the flow of the story. One of the few books I'd say, yes, definitely read the footnotes.
