The last puzzle I got stuck on was the one where you had to use your shadow form to boost the enemy up and then jump on his head to get the piece. I forgot the exact level because I'm not home. Also the first piece in 6-4 took me a while to get.
I'm still trying to have the ending sink in and want to go back and read the books again. Apparently there is some alternate text in the epilogue I need to find out and read. Maybe that will help me understand more.
From what I've gathered so far it seems to be about people wanting things they cannot have and ignoring the things that are important and right in front of them. The points about Tim leaving to seek out this "princess" seem to support this theory. After letting the game settle in my head a little I'm starting to appreciate it more and more. I mainly enjoyed the gameplay the first time through but the story is growing on me as time goes on.
Penny Arcade had a funny comic about Braid's pricing today: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/08/08/

Where did you heard about alternate texts? I went through a second time but didn't feel like I read anything different. Maybe if you beat the Speed Run challenge time?

In the epilogue there are a few places where you stand and you'll hear an "ahhhh" sound. If you open up the red book and go to that point the text will change. You have to be careful if you touch the green books it'll disappear. I haven't tried myself because I haven't been home yet but read it on another forum. I found a few of those spots when I went through and didn't know what they were.
