I found "Lisp In Small Pieces" an extremely difficult book to digest. Non for the contents per se but rather for the prose. I never managed to get past the second chapter. Does anybody share the feeling?

Assuming that you're referring to the English version (it was originally written in French), I do agree that it's not an easy read. The translator did not do a good job in my view.

It does come together however, with some additional effort and extra passes.
