"Information density, or the “I had to do a lot of research, and now you, dear reader, must suffer for it” tendency, is one of the perennial challenges of good fiction,,,," elflands2ndcousin.com/2012/07/10/information-density-and-selecting-planks-for-story-scaffolding/I guess we can all relate to that. We've all been bombarded at some point by the research an author has done, and by golly, he's going to use every bit of it and make us pay. Ram it down our throats, if you will. It totally spoils a book. We have to tread lightly, not come on like gangbusters with a stack of boring "facts," to display how knowledgeable we are on the subject.
