Whenever I pick it up it either refreshes my knowledge or I am able to learn something new with further depth. I did not find very many books on this subject. Listen to it at times when your hands are busy but your mind is not - driving, and doing work around the house are perfect times. The story isn't rushed at all, taking its time to unfold.
