Heh, not only is Leaves difficult to read, it's also difficult to count the pages! So I finished the first edition completely and have jumped back to the deathbed and started where I left off. Pages 36-73 is "Song of Myself" which is already in the first edition so I skipped it. I sort of would like to read it again to see any differences, but the beginning looked exactly the same so I figured I can always come back to it another time if I ever want.
Pages 76-80 are "I Sing The Body Electric" which is also in the original. However, this one has obviously been changed so I did sort of read it anyway, but I still didn't count it, not wanting to count repeat readings which that pretty much is.
