Irritation/curiosity

I'm reading Seeing That Frees, the first five chapters irritated me, and this irritation is working a lot like curiosity. It's making me want to hear what other people found in the book. It's making me want to read on a little more and pay attention.

Maybe it's because I want to prove things one way or the other. But I think it's funny how irritation functions like curiosity in this context.
