Woke up in the middle of the night and read through about fifty or so pages of a fresh copy (the one I almost-finished is in a past life), and there's way more comedy in how the academics are handled in the first section (or first fifty pages) than I remember, likely due to the fact that when I read the book (or attempted to) initially, I was closer to 'academia' (in the most distant sense of the word) and therefore related sympathetically to the characters, especially Espinoza, much more so than I do now. I don't re-read many books but I'm glad to be re-reading this one.
