Critical awareness can get in the way. I was reading my e-LOTR this morning on the bus; unfortunately the previous thing I read on the PDA was something I was supposed to be beta-reading, and the nitpicking mindset wouldn't quite switch off. I only reread it every few years these days, instead of two or three times a year, so it's easier to spot where the infodumping isn't quite as well-ordered as it might be.
Mission Statement
Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
