Query: Keep reading--it gets great!

I found the first couple hundred pages slow going. My mistake was to read it before The Rainbow, which I also intend to read, since it too is on the Modern Library panel's list of the best novels writtten in English in ths centruy. But I found when I finished the book I thought it well worth reading, even tho the characters are too cerebral for a commonsenseical person such as I think I am.
