I agree with everyone else. Everybody probably has their own opinion of
what over-analytical is. I think that the point of books is to speak to
the un-thought-of possibilites of everyday life. If we aren't analytical
then all we ever get is a nice story that is fairly exciting. It is only
when we dig deeper that we find the realities that we discover in books
exsisted inside of oursleves all along.

For me a good story is inhanced by rich thought provoking discussion. A
story "with pictures" is no less worthy of our time than one without
them. Harry Potter is so exciting because it is one of the rare GOOD
books that has universal appeal, and yet is full of things that spring
people's opinions too!
