Why do women profess a belief in feminism but secretly (or not so secretly) want to get dominated by big, strong, men? Like why is The Handmaiden's Tale considered a nightmare scenario when that's what many (most?) women would actually prefer so long as the patriarch was hot and not some pasty nerd from r9k?

Was Balzac the first writer to create a consistent universe for a large amount of novels?

After returning to reading after a couple years of shirking most it (ie, reading few books and focusing mostly on digital text and discourse), I discovered that I am now very easily distracted while reading books. Texts that I would've onced wolfed down in probably less than a day (eg, First as Tragedy, Then as Farce) I instead take a good week or two to digest, while thicker texts (eg, Discipline & Punish) take me about a month to get from cover to cover. Taking out the considerations of limited time, text density, and occasional note taking, I find that I now constantly flip from book to phone -- choosing a song, responding to a text, following an updating page, looking up a reference in or about the text, etc etc -- and it ends up grossly prolonging my reading time. Any of you guys deal with this? Any ways to manage or reduce it?
