I'm at the same point as issybird. Ready to start Volume III. I agree with the sentiments that it is better enjoyed as if serialized. Otherwise it becomes too tedious and you begin painfully rushing to get through it rather than appreciating the humor and social commentary. Therefore, I'm having an experience of opposite emotions with this book between liking and wanting to abandon it. However, I'm going to have to rush through the last chapters. The book is popular enough that it was on hold at my library both before and after me.
