And then tonight, I realized that I most recently had been reading the Pevear translation! I own both Pevear and Katz and had downloaded both to my Kobo, thinking I might read the P&V footnotes while reading Katx. When the book opened to the first page yesterday I ascribed it to a bad touch and navigated to where I left off. I noted that remaining reading time had jumped ten hours, but I thought that was Kobo adjusting to my speed. What I couldn't figure out was why something I'd been enjoying had turned into such a slog.

So, greatly relieved! I have an explanation and I'll be sure not to make the mistake again. And I'm going to reread the chapters that I'd forced myself through in P&V.
I love that we are polar opposites on P&V who I greatly enjoy.
