Yes, quite. I remember when I said I struggled with Jane Eyre, being given the excellent advice that 'You only have to read the school stuff once.' But you do need to read it once, to make sense of the rest. The Gondal bits aren't my favourite either, but how on earth does one make sense of the hunt, the ball, and all the rest without them?
