I agree, and even reading this piece, I just couldn't. For factual pieces, just give me the bullet points.
Perhaps the the worst consistent example is the New Yorker - I just read, uh ok, skimmed, a piece about Elliot hedge fund. It's many many pages long, but could be summarized in a paragraph, or a page, to add some supporting examples.
But, there's a big difference between reading for information, and reading for pleasure/escape.
I get quite frustrated by information pieces fluffed into literature, but can still find the time for engrossing stories and captivating writing.
- ghaff 8y agoI don't really agree for the most part. But, individual preferences aside, the economic reality is that you don't get paid for doing weeks of research and turning it into a few bullet points in an abstract. At some level, people pay for quantity as well as quality.
