      1. @clarity I love reading, I have a literal library of books at home. The only time I hate reading is when school forces you to write about what you read. I've said it before and ill say it again: books are meant for READING. NOT writing about.

        1. @techdisk42 I KNOW! That's one of the reasons I hate English class. I like reading, I like writing, but I do NOT write about what I read.

        2. @techdisk42 I will second that, over analysis disonects a reader from the joy of reading. I beleive "I am the Walrus" by "The Beatles" was written in order to mess with those who overanalize lyrics.

          1. @sarramore Take Shakespeare, for example. I'm reading it right now for school, and I kind of like it. But the extreme overanalysis that people put on Shakespeare ruins it for me. He just wrote what sounded good, or what he felt worked in the play. He didn't plan out how one play could be somehow related to another, or how everything might have significance. Don't get me wrong, he was an amazing writer, but not as amazing as everyone says.
