i the supreme part 2

what a book! while it gets more difficult, i seems as though its becoming an even better book. to me, that seems the be the paradox, the greater the book, the harder it is to understand!
something that struck me, even though i know i should think of it as obvious, is the way patiƱo shows his devotion to the supreme by writing his own death sentence. i mean, i know he was loyal and had to be and everything, but to do as far as writing your own death sentence? thats pretty impressing.
all of the compiler's notes throughout the book are an interesting concept too, but the one at the very end of the book that we looked at in class was interesting as well. even such a short and what seems to be a simple note was hard for me to understand before reading it least 3 times, but even after that i feel like i didn't completely understand what he were saying. the concept of time in the book gets brought up a lot, and its all interesting how there are no quotes in the book, but in the last complier's note there is, quoting the supreme.
