I agree. Reading is a linear process, and any attempt to insert annotations or footnotes should be as integrated with the material as any other part of the story.
- gglitch 11y agoI wish reading were a more linear process for me. Explicitly annotated or not, the better I find a work, the more uncontrollably my thoughts proliferate as I read, and I'm consequently having to re-read and re-read particularly thought-inducing paragraphs. There's obviously a material difference between authors/editors inserting their own thoughts and me inserting my own, but either way, the better the text, the less linear it is.
- liamconnell 11y agoI'm with you. I think that maybe we take in media passively so often these days (movies, music, radio) that when left to our own devices our mind get a little too excited.
