I am reading Umberto Eco's "Six walks in the fictional woods" (1994, Harvard University) based on a series of lectures. In the first lecture, Eco brings up a lot of interesting thoughts about 'model readers' and 'model authors.' The 'model reader' seems to be the general reader things are written for. I know that whenever I write a paper, a blog post, or anything that is not a personal communication, there is something in my mind that tells me what kind of 'voice' to use. For a paper, that is not so difficult, but for something like a blog - what type of 'model reader' am I directing things to?
