Take your time with it, few pages here and there. Not much happens for 80 pages or so but it sets the scene and is wonderful writing.
Highly recommend this book... it has stayed with me.

Ebooks are a great resource fir many reasons, but you need electricity. With a book you need only light.
Printed books must endure for humanities sake

This is a lovely idea!
For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
