Did you enjoy it? It sounds quite academic.

Janice wrote: "Did you enjoy it? It sounds quite academic."

It was not really academic, but I had to read it slowly to get the point. I rather like intuitive books or books you can understand without too much trying to grasp the comparisons and the theme. So maybe that is in a way academic. But it is not my most favourite book, though it was beautifully written.

Cerebral then. That might be a better word.
