why do i lack empathy to human characters? Foxhead Send a noteboard - 16/04/2011 12:23:29 AM
because the authors haven't made me care? i didn't say that i feel nothing towards human characters, just not what i've felt when i read the mentioned books

well...i guess, certainly to the ones i have read of so far

I never really like talking animals. I will grant you Black Beauty, since it felt real and realistic, and The Wind in the Willows. Otherwise I am all, MEH re: animals. Like, whatever.


well with the best books with animal perspectives it never really feels as though they are just talking animals


I remember reading Redwall and being thoroughly bewildered by it. Was I supposed to care about these religious rats? Whatever for?


well you have me there, because i've not read them...i might though now that i've heard of them

Interesting... Could be because you are more emotional about animals than people? temeraire - 16/04/2011 10:08:00 PM 1127 Views

There are tons of people who feel like you do. They are mostly in animal rescue.... *NM* temeraire - 17/04/2011 04:35:11 PM 495 Views
Could it be that you suspend disbelief to a greater extent? Camilla - 17/04/2011 12:02:50 PM 1109 Views
