Maybe now I can understand this book. It arrived last week, and I cracked it to find to my surprise that its genius level material. I would have to have a lot of uninterrupted time to grok.
I've handed my copy to a few people now, some found it intimidating it first but I don't think it's genius level material. Just take it a page at a time and keep in mind that it'll be worth it.
Oh yeah - and if you're struggling with the math/meta-math examples you should do what he says and play around with the ideas with pen and paper. If I remember correctly they're mostly closer to the start of the book so after that you should be fine.
