"two different types of books, one with pictures and one without"

I very much enjoy reading the Harry Potter books and the only pictures
I have ever found are on the front and back covers.

"i should have realized that the analitical folks were just a bunch of
college kids"

No, I am a university student. There is a difference. As to being
analytical. This comes from an active mind. It is very good to extend
it towards various different topics covering many different subjects.

"sometimes a rhino is a rhino"

And there are of course times when it is not. Maybe it has drunk some
animal equivalent of the polyjuice potion.

"You can discuss the book without re-writing it."

I find it very inteesting to see different points of view on the topics
in the books. It is easy to miss important things, or to be so certain
that there is only one explanation to an event.

"One of the best things about literary discussion groups is that, now
and then, people speculate wildly and think laterally. Things that seem
ridiculous can lead on to other ideas and can be educational at the
same time"

Are you trying to describe some of my wild speculations Neil? This group
is amazing at giving background information on the creatures, names of
characters, etc...
