I have, but unfortunately audiobooks do NOT get along with my brain. This is probably a good suggestion for people who are not me.

Oh, I got through this one, but it was WORK. I ended up finding a website that summarized each chapter and explained how it all tied together as well as explaining the cultural references and such, and I alternated reading the chapter and the summary and it helped a LOT.

Have a small emergency kit ready! Candles, flashlights, extra blankets, maybe a battery powered heating pad, some bottled water and a stash of food that doesn't need refrigeration or cooking (crackers, jerky, trail mix, canned meat, etc). An external battery for your phone, some arts and crafts projects, a jigsaw puzzle and some card games can help you keep your sanity if you get snowed in, lose internet or lose power.

Also, sealing up drafty windows is so helpful. You can get the cellophane window insulator kits for cheap, but they can be kind of fiddly to apply, and might mess up the paint when you take them down. You could also get thicker curtains for winter, or if you live in an apartment and have a budget a couple of command hooks and a cheap lap blanket works OK, too.

I hope that it gets a companion reader for it some day, like what you see for older texts or stuff like Ulysses. I feel like I could read it if I had one of those side by side commentary deals.
