Yes, I am reading the Yellow Book and already know it is going to take a lot (as in years) more run throughs. But I also found it valuable to have it present while reading posts. Yoda, and the more experienced, place footnotes in their posts. I find it helpful to pop to the book. It is fragments of understanding, but you never know when some fragments will combine to clear some fog.
Everybody learns differently, but it helps move the ball down the field for me.
