The dialogues (Achilles & Turtle) between the "essay" chapters are insanely enjoyable if you like wordplay and divertissement writing. "Crab Canon" is amongst the pages of literature I can re-read ad infinitum.
It gets somewhat harder to follow as it proceeds, and the lack of a "plot" makes it easy to abandon it, but I'd still recommend it.
