somehow convincing yourself that this is Big and Worthy and so will involve reading Big Worthy books. And yeah - that is RaceFail.
See, that can be your first uncomfortable learning experience! *g*
For me, a lot of the revelations last year were quite subtle -- e.g., "Okay, since I'm having huge amounts of fun reading all these great books, why have I not picked any of them up before now?" Especially since there were some I'd heard of but somehow never quite got round to checking out, or some I'd seen in bookstores but somehow never quite got round to buying ...
I thought I'd already been reading fairly diversely, but I realized that apparently I hadn't, because just this tiny bit of conscious effort to read more by POC turned up all these great authors.
So -- it does have the potential to bring up all sorts of things, I think. But not because it's not fun!
