Failing to find the rhythm or understand the science behind it

So, I am supposed to do a short presentation in class tomorrow based on our first reading assignment from DJ Spooky's "Rhythm Science". Before we try and grasp some understanding of it as a a class, I thought it was entirely necessary to express my complete confusion regarding everything I just read. The look of the book is deceiving. It is thin, there are pictures every other page, and there is an unavoidable hole in the middle of each page. The unique design and overall look of the book is not only fascinating, but also mislead me to believe that this would be a quick, enjoyable read. After reading only a few lines, I knew that all of these preconceived notions were inaccurate and that I was in big trouble. I read the first page three times and had my friends do the same, each of us trying to grasp some sort of meaning embeded in the text. Unfortunately, these efforts did not lead us to any sort of understanding of what Spooky is trying to convey. At this point, all I am thinking is that perhaps this is the point of the text and it is only going to continue in this same direction. Maybe it is supposed to be just as complicated as we perceive it to be. Just as art, entertainment, muisc, sampling cannot be clearly described and portrayed through a few simple sentences, maybe Spooky is making this writting exceptionally hard in an attempt to portray the complexity of each of these other media forms. Right now, I am comfortable with making this assumption even though my initial assumptions regarding the ease of this read were undoubtedly proven to be wrong to me over the past hour. Even though this first page was a challange to even get trhough, I thought that, perhaps, the read would get easier and more understandable once I got into it more. Once again, I was proven wrong. I spent so much time trying to make sence of the fragmented sentences and seemingly disjointed thoughts that I fell short of ever seeing the big picture of the argument, if there is even on that exists here. Basically, all of this has lead me into a state of complete and utter panic. How am I supposed to present and teach the class about what I read when I have absolutely no clue what I read? How do I summarize the overall argument made here when I cannot even disect the meaning of most given sentences or sets of them? At this point, I am thinking that perhaps the best thing to do is give Spooky a rest for awhile and give it another look in the morning. If this does not solve my problems, I am very afraid that the only thing I am going to be able to convey to the class in discussion tomorrow is my unending confusion and overall frustration with what I read but failed to make any sort of sense of.
