Re: inexperience as a lens

It's very interesting that you chose this as a lens because I never really thought about it. You, like so many people in this world including myself, are not widely travelled which allows authors to glamorize the settings for their books and make you and me enthralled. I think another reason not being widely travelled is not a hinderance is because if you had travelled to these places, you would be analyzing how the author was correct or incorrect and I find that a great distraction to my pleasure. Also places in your imagination never look as good in real life, so I would almost rather not see Ireland...but imagine what it would be like from Nora Roberts point of view and not be disappointed. I like your paragraph overall because it seems to pinpoint why I like to read so much: because I can go to other places and see other things through books. Nice job!!
