I didn't hang around long enough to think Vaughn (was that his name?) was hot.
When it comes to world building, I'm lazy. And I subscribe to the four corners theory of fiction reading: as I read, I am not interested in looking up other references (book or 'net), I'm only interested in what is included or explained within the four corners of the book. References to paradigms or archetypes that I miss? Shame on me for being undereducated. References or allusions that are not universal? They need to be explained (without infodumping) as presented or shortly thereafter.
