I haven't read it. My partner ripped the book in half to make it easier to hold though lol

I'm just teasing :P

For what it's worth, I have ADHD so, by the time I've flipped to the back of the book to find the endnote I need, invariably one of two outcomes occurs:

I forget which number I'm looking for and I end up reading the wrong ~~footnote~~ endnote and I spend a few minutes perplexed as I try to puzzle out the relevance to the main text before returning to the main text to realise that I've just read the wrong ~~footnote~~ endnote
I remember the number but what I've just read slips from my mind as I focus with all my effort on remembering the correct number, only to read the footnote and fail to connect that information with the main text and then I have to go back a page or two in order to remember the thread of the main text before encountering that same ~~footnote~~ endnote again

Wash, rinse, and repeat for the most infuriating experience as a reader.

Fuck ~~footnotes~~ endnotes
