Additionally I don't tout my credentials unless necessary to prove a point. I was defining what I meant by academic. I was not, as someone suggested, expecting "I don't know if I can jack off".
Opinion based book reviews have their place, but I would like to see more discussions of new works in the fandom as more than just a summation of their narrative and a personal response. Discussions of the use of theme, how the social interactions of character are thinly veiled consensual illusions over their actual capital gain. Is there a motif that define a commentary on society and culture?
While yes, not all pieces of writing have these things intentionally worked into them, an author subconscious while writing and yield some interesting commentary on culture and other topics.
