5.0

Incredibly unique. I refer to this as a “literary experience” because it is far more than a book. 

If you decide to embark on this journey, I highly recommend Ashley Whitlatch’s approach found at https://www.booksaremythirdplace.com/articles/how-to-read-s-aka-ship-of-theseus and summarized below:

  1. Read Ship of Theseus in entirety.
  2. Read blue/black margin notes. 
  3. Read orange/green margin notes. 
  4. Read red/purple margin notes. 
  5. Read black/black margin notes.
