You can read it when it sucks less. Some of the parts before the mad, furious rush are kind of almost okay, but everything after 28k is just ouch. And I need to turn December into NaLaConMo (National Language Construction Month) so that I can find/replace out all my placeholder names. :P
Keep it up, and I might end up posting the truly execrable bits that started popping up toward the end middle part when I began panicking. Yes, Virginia, a sentence can be several hundred words long and completely lose its way somewhere around the fourth clause.
See, NaNo has been, for me, a process of figuring out what doesn't work so that I can begin the second draft with a) a plot outline and b) at least a vague sense of what to do with my characters. Some of whom still need names.
But I'm tempted to post the really crack-addled bits as soon as I finish combing through the hideous blob of text. *considers* I think that metaphor just passed "mixed" and went straight to "muddled." NaNo, you cruel beast, you broke my brain.
