Anthony,

When you make this coloccation it reports me to pragmatics,because it is much more beyond the lines and the discourse level.
We only catch these things after a long time and we need to help our students catch them trying to improve Grice's maxim of relation and quality.

>point is: for me to consider a book as being
>interesting, I have to know this "not-interesting.
