Thank you for mentioning this book. Got a copy from the local library late last week. I'm about a quarter of the way through and while the majority of the jokes he makes in the footnotes don't always land, I do like how relatively easy dude's writing style is. The chapters so far don't get too boring or overwhelming to read.
