tephraSo I'm reading the reviews for A Good Offense (the sequel to The Best Defense) and I find this:
"...im not getting the whole purple haze thing, it flew right over my head."
For some reason that made me snicker.
Frankly, the reviews![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joisbishmyoga gets for these stories often make me depressed. Apparently people are reading and yet not reading these days. It's like they forget things that they read just a few sentences ago. Their comprehension seems spotty at best, and ask them to remember something from a previous chapter? Not going to happen apparently.
Now I know I have a somewhat odd and persistent memory but I can't believe that people can really forget something they read just a few minutes ago. My ability to remember stuff I read years ago (decades in some cases) can't be that bizarre, and remembering something from a month ago should be really simple and common, right?
