Lol, I find this quote quite funny, but true. sad if someone really doesn't have even 30 mins a day to spare. I agree though, every day is vital.. for ever and ever! ;-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Actually I have been reading fragments of it partly extensively for fun, partly intensively for learning Russian. It is clearly a pioneering work, but I find it a little bit loose in its structure and a little bit too informal - it is like having Spivak sitting in an armchair and chatting about his book project (with lots of examples) rather than reading a hardcore documentation. But it is entertaining, and until Erard comes out with his Babel no more there is no competition to speak of.
