I think it was some of the same thing you're talking about: having trouble bridging the gap between who he is and who I am. I think I also had a little trouble with his writing style. It's excellent - don't get me wrong - but maybe it's written more for the ear? For whatever reason, I've always much more enjoyed hearing Mark speak than reading his stuff, even if he was just reading his stuff. I should say that by taking that long to read it, it turned out that there were some really helpful bits near the end that I got to right when I needed them. So it was all for good.
