I have also recently noticed how much I've been analyzing everything (well, almost everything) I read since the CbC started. We've been taking Dante's
Inferno for English class and I found myself trying to make connections between the Citadel there (has seven battlements), and, naturally, Minas Tirith. So now I feel smarter than ever, thanks in part to
the people who post in the CbC threads. But I'll have to try saying
verisimilitude or
verisimilitudinous...if I get around to knowing what they mean.
