Reminds me of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel, tons of footnotes, some of which were their own contained stories. I remember at least one page that was quite literally 3/4ths footnote!

Yes, it did occasionally distract from the novel, but I'm the kind of person that doesn't mind reading and re-reading a passage.

I also liked the content of these side stories, except they made the reading experience harder. Maybe they should have just interspersed them and dedicate a page or two to each side story, now they were spread over the sidelines of multiple pages.
