I have been given the [Ship of Theseus](http://hachettebookgroup.com/titles/vm-straka/ship-of-theseus/9781478928225/) as an Easter gift, which an amazing surprise. Immediately however you are confronted with the challenge of how you are meant to read it.

After reading the annotations in the title pages I have decided to try and take three passes at it. First to read the novel "as written", then tackle the translator's footnotes, then finally the marginalia.

Sounds so much like my kind of thing!

From wikipedia:

> S. is a 2013 novel written by Doug Dorst and conceived by J.J. Abrams. The novel is unique in its format, presented as a story within a story. It is composed of the fictional novel Ship of Theseus by a fictional author, and hand-written notes filling the book's margins as a dialogue between two college students hoping to uncover the author's mysterious identity and the novel's secret plus loose supplementary materials tucked in between pages.

Of course, in light of this, there's something very appropriate about reposting from a stream called *The ship of Theseus* into a stream called *S.* and commenting on it.

I'm also wondering if there'll be some point in the future where someone will write a novel in ThoughtStreams :-)
