comment How do you avoid the problem of all the characters in your story sounding the same?
Great answer. I've been known to hunt up photos of people to use as references for my characters. It sound a bit lame, but it really can help. I ask myself, what would this lady say in this situation?

comment How to attract the average reader to an “intellectual” novel?
I really don't think the question as currently worded is what is really being asked or answered here. Maybe something more like "Should I simplify my descriptions to appeal to more readers?"

comment In what order should I describe a setting?
This is an excellent answer. Setting description is great for creating atmosphere. For example, say your character is happy. That description of setting might be vastly different than if your character was suicidal. (This also depends on the point of view of your narrator to some degree.) Your happy character might notice unseen birds chirping, but depressed guy might not notice anything but the fog.
