Yep.

I can see how there is a decent story in there (underneath all the blubber  ); but I've always had a theory that MD fans skip the boring bits - am I wrong? Or do you enjoy the discursive passages?

It's the "discursive passages" that I enjoyed the most.
Mind you, I only a few years ago read Joseph Conrad's
Heart of Darkness, and loved it, but several opinions that I respect informed me that it was "a small book that feels like a 1500 page novel" (and not in a good way).
