As I said, odd the way some readers will resort to reading around and
about the words on the page, often darting and dodging, looping and
leaping after elusive allusions and parables political. And then there
are those linear readings that cut off after the first few words and
numbers, certain that the author's primary interest may be got fro just
a handful of syllables and a reference to a classic.
