In my review of The Hermetic Deleuze I mentioned it made me feel confident enough to tackle this work. But after 50 or so pages felt overwhelmed and put it aside. But then, I looked, and it looked back. I said "let's see." And then the fog turned to clearing, and I I was groking more than before. It still feels like starting Lacan. Moments of beguiling fog and startling clarity. The clarity is sticking.

Chapter 3 kicked my brain's butt up and down the block.
May need to take a short break before diving back in to up my mental strength levels.

This may be one of the most difficult to grok books I've ever read...

OK. Finished the second chapter which felt foggier than the first. Still, what I was able to grok was pretty damn interesting. The first two chapters are supposed to be his review of the existing literature on the subject of Difference and Repetition. Coming up next is the "hinge" chapter and then his original thoughts on these topics. Going to put this one down for a little while to give my brain a break.
