I understand why I was so easily able to pick out the love triangle in Alphabet Thorn. It's because McKillip had more important things on her mind. Despite some bouts of predictability, the story of Alphabet Thorn was very well thought out and executed. It built well to a very nice climax and I was easily reading 2 pages/minute at the end. Which isn't that fast, considering the large font and all, but since I haven't been reading much recently, I think that it's a pretty good pace.
There are many other times in my life where I have had a first impression and had to change it. That's why, as I've gotten older, I've been more reluctant to make immediate judgements. For example, I used to dislike Fernando Verdasco for his one moment of gamesmanship against Andy Roddick. But then he does things like accompany Paul-Henri Mathieu to the hospital after an on-court accident. And his overall niceness to fans is a big plus.
So one day I'll read those Harry Potter books that I shunned when they first came out, and find a way to appreciate golf. But for now, I'm taking things as they are.
