One of my favourite books to read and to teach. When I first read it umpteen years ago I found it hard work, but I've since realised that that is the point, really. You have to read it slowly, reread parts of it, digest it. Put it into context. And also note what we are told in the book of the internal narrator Marlow's tales, that they are not straightforward in meaning. That applies to the text as a whole. Read it and absorb it all, and you will be amply rewarded. If you want something to read quickly for fun, look elsewhere, folks.
