Yes - I didn't skip a word. Some of those repetitious parts made it difficult, so it was a very self-disciplining process. Not so much the 'begats' but the parts where different groups of people and their numbers are recounted, etc.
But - those are just parts. Most of it is just incredible. And it's nice to read it within a year, and my goal is to start doing it in successive years. I know some people, for instance, who have read it every year like 25 or 30 years running. I first did it within a year in 2006, and got derailed in both 2007 and 2008. I have not started yet in 2010, so I'm still trying to figure out if that's the goal I want to pursue or if I want to do more directed study of parts. But it's early, so I can still catch up easily. Especially if I'm riding the el.
