Does anyone have any advice on reading the Gene Wolfe New Sun books? I tried and failed a year and a half ago and I'm thinking of getting back on the horse.
The nice thing about New Sun is it doesn't require you to solve all the mysteries to have fun. It's not like Fifth Head where you have to figure out the puzzle in order to enjoy it. It can just be a dark fantasy adventure story about a hosed up guy in a hosed up future.

 I never annotate books but I often wish I did, every time there's a paragraph I remember but can't find again. I often use google books or piracy sites to get searchable versions of texts I own in print just for this purpose.
