Remember that the "Not Responding" message doesn't mean that SketchUp has quit working. It means it's not going to respond to any further input until it's finished doing the last thing you told it to do. Purging unused stuff regularly should help reduce that. It should also help keep your file performing better.
"Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. Is a great book about comics, but it goes into a lot of detail about the difference in abstraction and realism, and the importance of it. I can't recommend the book enough.
