I'm begining to feel that change now. I've learned more about writing and start to notice the prose more, as well as I'm getting better at interpretation (literally couldn't do that at school at all). Hence I'm getting more critical. Though I wouldn't say for myself that what I used to read was for escapism - I feel I've learned to appreciate things about writing that I wasn't previously aware of.
