sometimes, you can't go home again, as it were...

I'm re-reading the Wheel of Time series (Robert Jordan is one of my all-time favorite authors, and the reason I tried -and failed- to become an author myself); it's been 5 or so years since I read them again, and one thing that keeps popping up to me is it's...quaint.
I mean, I still absolutely love them, and I still love his world building and the story he told, but some of the ways he describes men and women acting (among themselves, towards each other), is really old-fashioned, and unfortunately I don't mean that in a positive way.
Maybe it's cuz I'm older, and know more now than I did when I first read them, maybe it's cuz I pay more attention to things said (or left unsaid), but there are times where I have to remind myself that even though real people (yes, even in a fantasy world where magic is real) wouldn't actually think, talk or act like that, I can't let it detract from the overarching story.
It's kinda bittersweet, like going back to someplace from your youth that seems smaller than it did back then. At least, that's how I'm feeling about...
