Slow and steady stalls the spoilers - I don't rush through topics as quickly as I did before, so I read stuff by post to avoid stepping on landmines. If the boiler room gets too hot I scamper off into /m/, /ck/ or /n/.
It doesn't matter, though. Even if my book arrives right now, I can't finish the whole beast in a single hour. I'll be committing harakiri in the end.
