It was a long read. I enjoyed it, but just a small amount at a time.
A major part of the evolution of my style has been a sort of decondensing, making the prose less dense. My early stuff (say '95-'00, by pub dates), is, to my ear, extraordinarily dense. I was obsessed with a particular effect.
Although, if you read the 2007 reprint (the mass-market paperback), then it was substantially rewritten from the original 1998 tpb text, and not so dense.
