" To answer the question above, because the emotional response is one
 method of approaching a literary work, and as a list, we do not 
dictate a proper method of response."

Del replies:
*One* method indeed, not the only one.

Nora wrote:
" For me (myself, and I), it's interesting to note places where an
emotional reaction (which is not necessarily knee-jerk) and a more
critical analysis don't line up.  Ah, the frisson."

Del replies:
Agreed. But that presupposes that the critical analysis is being done.

Nora signed:
"Nora finds that in analyzing music, emotional responses often lead to
uncovering the analytically most interesting parts, and is now tempted
to use Lewin's phenomenological language to talk about fans"

Del replies:
Sure, but you'll have to explain all the big words first ;-)
