(well not actually the very first - that would be the Introduction, but you get the idea). First thing to do is lay a little ground work and set a tone for all this. I find lots of different subjects interesting and probably just as many not interesting. Those I find interesting I tend to get quite deep into and feel I have a pretty good understanding of the underlying properties or nuances etc. Those I don't find interesting I don't give a crap about but I find, more and more, that the world is filled with things I have no interest in yet a vast number of people seem to think is "normal".
