paradise lost is frustrating to read. so many footnotes! and i can't skip them, because theyre THERE, and i see the little number and i just have to go to the bottom of the page and read it, but then i lose the flow of what i was reading and i have to go back. it's a slow process.
coach diagnosed my frequent foot cramp-feeling as tendonitis. the cure is, for a week, when i sleep, to wear a sweatsock over the afflicted foot with a bread bag tied over that. he also advised me to make sure my windows are wide open each morning before i take the bag off
NOOO IT'S STARTED AGAIN! remember last year, i kept finding bits of wood and nails on my floor? theyre back. i don't understand. i think my room is haunted (by nails and bits of wood, yes).

I HATE books with footnotes because I do the same thing. even worse is endnotes. i hate flipping over to the end every 20 seconds. 'infinite jest' was a killer, because a lot of the endnotes went on for PAGES and werent even really related to what they were linked from, and they'd be referenced like 20 times thru the book ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/33629218/144158) | | From: | feste |

The Illuminatus! Trilogy was like that. But fun. Pratchett footnotes a lot, I wait and go back to them. Yes, I have footnote self-control! I am a freak among Wundeers! =) erm.. i'm reading illuminatus! now, and am yet to come across a single foot/endnote | | From: | feste |

I actually thought about endnotes when you mentioned footnotes, but decided they were too evil to mention. Happily, I only remember one book with them. (well, I remember reading one book with them - don't know what it was) |
