Language in Jeopardy

My extensive pre-polyester education about sewing and materials adds to my enjoyment in reading novels written by authors with a similar knowledge. (My sewing machine, on the other hand, has not been used since the last century). When I read for enjoyment, fiction with much detailed description pleases me. I know other readers who only want the plot to move along, climax, and resolve. I like to dally along the way, taking in the views, examining the tweed and the twill of a character's outfit. Rich writing will become a dying art as succeeding generations' education dumbs down even farther (or further).
