RE: Tropic of Confusion

I have also had some trouble reading through Miller's Tropic of Cancer. My reason being that his stream of consciousness makes me go into a stream of consciousness (as discussed in class). And as a result I am having trouble remembering what I have read. I am well into the sixth "part" (can you call them chapters?) and can only remember the really unique experiences that the narrator describes. Maybe that is his intention, but it is making my reading difficult. After the first two parts, Miller does start concentrating on a story and that has helped my thoughts calm down, making it easier to read. I just hope I am not lagging and can try to focus on the story and take away something from it.
