Hey Mickey, enjoyed the show! The last couple minutes where you talk about game-related fiction got my brain going, and I wrote a blog post about it (http://tinyurl.com/2b2gegw), including a link to your episode.
Thanks, Hans!!! I just read your blog post on it. I think a lot of it is that at 14 we’re not necessarily looking for high art, I mean, that’s the stuff they “make” us read in English classes, and we just don’t have the experience, vocabulary or sophistication to really pick things apart yet.
There are some of those books that have enough of an emotional tie for me, that I don’t care that they’re less than good, but for the most part if I LOVED it an 14 or 15, I’m just going to let my warm and fuzzy memories live on, and I’m not going to try to read it again.
