I’ve read and enjoyed the Sequences, and wish I could pay money to have them on dead trees mailed to my house. ... I try to learn thing like one scores drywall. A little A, then a little B, then a little C, then don’t you know the seemingly unrelated B and C make A easier (much more complicated I know, but who likes textwall analogies?).

I suggest re-reading them. For a while I've been meaning to do a PSA post on the subject. I read the sequences once, in thematic order, then recently went back and re-read them in chronological order. I have to say I got a lot more out of them this time, now that I know where EY was heading with the entire project (and reading them in the order posted is much better imho than organized by topic).

Especially because they're enjoyable to read. I've been listening to the audio as it came out but the different ordering sounds great.
