I realize that I had my boots on when I crashed this party. (I'm sorry, Hitch! I should know better than to outthink you!) Of course all those books were print editions and had been tweaked with more or less intelligence; it's only the e-books where it might be a problem. I will use four tildes centered henceforth if there's any chance of confusing the reader.
Though I am reading Jonathan Franzen's Purity at this moment. It doesn't have any of these scene shifts that I've noticed, but I'm confused most of the time.... Who are these people? Why are they so alike?
