You're always so genuine and level headed about the good (or not terrible) qualities of her writing, so when you tear into her it's both justified and hilarious.
I'm glad you think so! I'm definitely a nit-picky person, and I think I could easily fall into the error of just lambasting everything she says for no other reason than that it's her saying it, so I'm glad that this doesn't seem to be the case.
it drives me batty when LKH has to break down simple concepts like the readers are her kindergarten class
Me too. She breaks them down in the Anita narratives to, and I just can't stand it. Firstly, it's insulting to the reader. Secondly, it ruins the metaphor/analogy/etc even if it was a good/clever/effective/etc one. Especially since a good, clever, effective one should be able to stand on its own just fine.
